LAS VEGAS (AP) - Dozens of people attended a Bureau of Land Management meeting to weigh in on a company's proposal to build a $1 billion solar thermal power plant in the Amargosa Valley 80 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
Some of the 70 or so people who attended the Monday meeting said they worry the project will deplete underground reservoirs. However, many of those people also said they favor the Amargosa Farm Road Solar Project but want it designed to use less water.
Solar Millennium is a German power plant developer. The company wants to build a pair of solar power plants with wet cooling.
Assemblyman Ed Goedhart says the project wouldn't increase the amount of water pulled from underground reservoirs. The Republican from Amargosa says water for the plant would be diverted from alfalfa farms.
