There is quite a bit of geothermal power already being generated in the Reno area, with additional geothermal sites surveyed. East of Reno, there is plenty of desert onto which to put solar farms, particularly designs that don't burn up birds. (NV Energy has been building solar power in Northern Nevada since they were Sierra Nevada Power.)

Apple, who is "next door", has expressed its desire to expand solar, so they and Tesla could cooperate on building additional capacity nearby.
