“As we’ve seen in other states, like New Jersey, governors have the power to freeze rates and stand with the people for energy affordability,” Jackie Spicer of the Nevada Environmental Justice Coalition @jspice108.bsky.social ⚡️✊
They’re delaying the daily demand charge, but it needs to be canceled completely! Nevadans have had enough of NV Energy’s corporate greed⚡️

"Again and again, they pressed him to commit to keeping public lands in public hands, and in some cases to recant his past positions ... Then came Sen. Cortez Masto’s turn."

Thank you to Congresswoman Dina Titus @titus.house.gov for visiting DRI’s Las Vegas campus to highlight a new $1M federal grant supporting our collaboration with NASA to advance wildfire smoke tracking in Nevada—strengthening forecasting and public health communication. #ScienceThatMattersNow
“It is important for elected officials at the state and local level to step up”‼️
The time for a faster + more robust transit system is long overdue for Southern Nevada 🚎
National and Nevada conservation groups have been publicly calling on Cortez Masto, who serves on the Senate committee that held hearings on the nominee, to vote against sending Pearce's nomination to the Senate floor for a confirmation vote.
Paving the way for urban sprawl😔💔
We need a BLM director who will protect our public lands, not sell them off for corporate profits.
The magic of wild Nevada is at risk of a corporate takeover.
For the air we breathe and the places we play, we cannot afford a BLM director who will sell our public lands for development and extraction.
#NevadaIsNotForSale
We must protect our public lands from a future of development and extraction!
Our Coalition Coordinator @jspice108.bsky.social shared her story and why we need to protect the magic of wild Nevada from a BLM director nominee hellbent on selling them to the highest bidder. #NevadaIsNotForSale
Thank you for sharing my story! 💚
OPINION by Jackie Spicer: Will the next BLM director put Nevada up for sale? Stevan Pearce’s troubling voting record and “small government” philosophy would mean a massive public lands sell-off in Nevada.

"For the sake of Nevada’s landscapes, wildlife, and future generations, Cortez Masto and Rosen should not only vote no, but also join their Senate colleagues from Colorado in forcefully opposing Steve Pearce’s nomination" to head the Bureau of Land Management.
Commentary:
Tesla started running unpermitted battery recycling equipment at its Gigafactory while its environmental impacts were still under government review — and must now pay Nevada $200,000 for it.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
"To what extent are we sacrificing our workers and our communities at the expense of our taxpayers to subsidize or support a company without essential oversight,” Doñate asked.
The program was intended to provide low-interest financing for rooftop and community solar installations on homes, multifamily housing, municipal buildings and businesses.
A full house at the PUCN consumer session in Las Vegas. The community is concerned about high energy rates and the unprecedented new demand energy charge. Will regulation get better for customers or worse?
Climate change is expensive when it means unaffordable, ever-rising utility bills.💰 Solar for All would’ve lowered household costs at a time when people truly need relief from the cost of living.🏠📈 Why would we not take advantage of our state’s most plentiful resource?☀️

NEJC Policy Fellow, Hector Arreola, is quoted in this article calling for utility disconnection transparency.⚡️
“If we fail to measure the problem, we fail to protect our community.”

Carbon emissions from oil giants directly linked to dozens of deadly heatwaves for first time
The housing crisis is not unique to Southern Nevada.🏠 Other cities don’t have the luxury of being surrounded by public lands and must find solutions within their geographical boundaries. Nevada needs to invest in our existing communities before selling BLM land to the highest bidder. #NVisNotForSale
“If you just leave it to developers they will just develop high-end housing," Titus said.
Thank you to everyone who joined my public lands roundtable. It was a success!
It is important to discuss sustainable development, especially when we consider our public lands. I’ll continue advocating for both, as I return to Congress next week.
Nevadans cannot miss out on the jobs and economic benefits that will flow to them from the Nevada Solar for All program.☀️ This funding must be restored to our state! Thank you for covering this story @ktnv.bsky.social
