Nevada has large geothermal resources and is second only to California in the generation of electricity from geothermal energy.
Though total State petroleum consumption is low, Nevada's jet fuel consumption is disproportionately high due in large part to demand from airports in Las Vegas and Reno and from two air bases.
The State's largest power generating plant, the Mohave Generating Station, which was fueled primarily with coal, was shut down at the end of 2005 for failing to install agreed-upon pollution-control equipment.
