Not only should they not do that...it would be cost prohibitive to even try.
That is why they didn't really do this...all the article is referring to is some government buildings.
Trying to use solar, wind and the dam for residential and commercial would bankrupt the economy in Las Vegas...they already get 15% of their power from the dam (and that is running at full capacity).
The residents of Las Vegas, as well as the casinos, would never back a plan to raise their own taxes and power costs to 100 times what they are now...just not going to happen.
