Centers Of Invention: Leveraging The Mountain West Innovation Complex For Energy System Transformation, Mark Muro, Sarah Rahman
Brookings Mountain West Publications
America needs to transform its energy system to reduce its carbon intensity and make clean energy cheap.

Making The Most Of Opportunities During A Recession, Christine G. Springer
Public Policy and Leadership Faculty Publications
The best public managers know that conventional thinking won’t get them through tough times and that a recession is a rich opportunity to reinvent their organization and to lay the groundwork for future successes.

The economic indicators for the state of Nevada indicate a bleak financial future. The foreclosure rate of the Las Vegas Valley is five times the national average and the highest rate in the country (Hoak, 2010).
