According to the Wells Fargo Securities Economics Group, the tech sector in Nevada has expanded thanks to Apple’s data center campus in Reno. Metal ore mining has made considerable gains over the past decade, with about 70% of the gold produced in the nation being mined in Nevada. And expectations are high that the world's largest lithium-ion battery factory will be built in the state.
The Tesla Giga factory, a $5 billion project, will occupy up to 1,000 acres of land near highways and rail, with space for a few hundred megawatts of solar panels and some wind turbines. Tesla Motors intends to build 500,000 cars at the factory per year by 2020, and northern Nevada is a frontrunner due to its many acres available for development and ready access to rail transport.
