Threecorner Milkvetch Population Thrives Near Gemini Solar Project in Nevada
NOVEL RENEWABLE ENERGYSOLAR ENERGY
The threecorner milkvetch, a critically endangered plant in Nevada, increased from 12 to 93 plants after the Gemini Solar Project's construction. The project's design preserved the soil and allowed the plant to flourish without additional irrigation. Surveys indicate that specific areas under the solar panels created a microclimate conducive to the plant's growth, demonstrating that solar projects can coexist with native flora.
