About Us

Silver State Renewables, Inc. is currently a consulting and project management firm, operating out of a small town in northeast Nevada. We started the company in 1996 with the mission "to build better working and living environments". We propose to do this by helping folks produce some of your own food and reduce the cost of heating, cooling and electrifying their homes and/or businesses with renewable energy resources.

The principle of the firm is Michael J. Kerna:

• Michael J. Kerna's professional career started in 1973 after graduating from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering. Since that time he's spent 35 years in the alternative fuels industry. Early in his career he spent 6 years with The Institute of Gas Technology and Phillips Petroleum Company doing research and development on low and medium BTU gasses, which were designed to replace natural gas in industrial applications. Then he spent the next 17 years doing project development work and operating two geothermal projects for the Phillips Petroleum Company, Chevron Geothermal Corporation and Oxbow Geothermal Corporation. The projects involved selling geothermal fluid and electricity to two of the major utilities (Pacific Corporation and Southern California Edison). He was a plant manager for 5 of those years. He's also a registered professional engineer in Oklahoma.
