Issue Position: Energy and Enviorment

Issue Position

Nevada has abundant renewable natural resources, and we should capitalize on them as a means of reducing our greenhouse emissions and spurring new economic growth. Nevada has the opportunity to be a national clean energy leader and even has the potential to export clean energy to other states.

Nevada's rooftop solar industry was hit hard by a PUC decision that unfairly raised rates on existing solar customers. Going forward, I look forward to crafting a legislative solution that will allow the rooftop solar industry to grow while not unfairly burdening non-solar ratepayers.

Nevada is home to an incredible array of publicly owned parks and monuments. Because of this, our natural environment is one of our state's major selling points, and an important economic driver. The Legislature should take steps to preserve these lands and the public's right to enjoy them for generations to come.
