Energy Vault and NV Energy have completed the Reid Gardner BESS in Moapa, Nev., and put the project into commercial operation.
Built on the site of a decommissioned coal-fired electric generating facility, the 220 MW grid-tied BESS is a two-hour energy storage system. Operating at full capacity by NV Energy, the system utilizes Energy Vault’s integration platform and energy management system.
“The completion of the Reid Gardner Battery Energy Storage System, on budget and on schedule in a compressed time schedule, stands as a testament to Energy Vault’s commitment to the efficient delivery of sophisticated high-performance energy storage systems to customers like NV Energy,” says Marco Terruzzin, chief commercial and product officer at Energy Vault.
“We are grateful for NV Energy’s strong partnership throughout this process, from the start of planning until the commencement of operations today. It’s our goal at Energy Vault to serve as the energy storage company of choice for utilities, IPPs and large energy users, and we are proud to deliver a system that will provide clean energy and grid resiliency to Nevada communities while also advancing the state’s carbon neutrality goals.”

A Note from Thomas Jefferson
Numerous political philosophers from Aristotle to Jefferson have written the words, or their equivalent, that we see at left. In fact, the first decent paper I wrote in my quest for a degree in the subject was on Aristotle’s position on “The circumstances under which it’s acceptable to discontinue of friendship.” Spoiler alert: It’s when a so-called “friend” has undergone a change in character.
FWIW, I don’t want to be a friend of anyone who has adopted the modern-day GOP position on white nationalism, the multi-tiered justice system, the abandonment of rule of law, the dumbing down of America, or trashing the environment for profit.

Did “America Lose” the 2026 Midterms?
Let’s examine this.
Republicans lost ground in 99% of the roughly 2,200 counties where most votes had been counted.
Democrats hadn’t won Kansas, a state dominated by the “salt-of-the-Earth,” in nearly a century.
The election left a clear mandate: The end of governance by liars and criminals, restoration of rule of law, adherence to the U.S. Constitution, human rights, and acceptance of science in policymaking.
If this is losing, the vast majority of Americans will take it every day of the week.
