Nevada is closer and seems to have most of North Dakota&#x27;s benefits?<p>I also wonder if Nevada&#x27;s climate would make it a better choice too. The Dakotas have some of the most extreme weather in the US - hot summers, frigid winters, severe thunderstorms, and wind - there were <i>a lot</i> of windy days when I lived in North Dakota. Would days with subzero high temps and 30 MPH sustained winds be a useful environment for drones?<p>One thing that really seemed to help the Silicon Valley get started was how <i>away</i> it was from everything - particularly the establishment on the east coast. I do wonder if the next big thing will be started somewhere that is similarly away from Silicon Valley - somewhere no one would expect, like North Dakota.
