Heat, Storms and Blackouts! Oh My!

Many people come to the Black Rock Desert for a few days for fun and exploration. We live here year-round, with the wind, the sun, the storms and our aging power grid.

Help Gerlach generate clean, renewable energy and have back-up power when the grid fails.

Help us build a solar-battery microgrid for our Community Center.

When the power goes out, with your help, we will have a place to stay warm, keep cool, refrigerate our food and medications, and survive whatever weather or climate change throw at us.

Offset your emissions from your travel and fun by giving back to the town that supports your Black Rock Desert fun!

Support community resilience and climate action right here!
