Editorial: Nevada voters and renewable energy
Publisher’s note: This editorial is from the June 17, 2018, Las Vegas Sun.
In 1997, Nevada became one of the first states in the U.S. to adopt a minimum requirement for green energy production.
Today, however, other states have zoomed past us in setting such standards. In fact, Nevada’s requirement for 25 percent of our energy to come from renewable sources no longer ranks us in the top 10. We’re trailing New Jersey, of all places. New Jersey!
So it’s commendable that a group known as Nevadans for Clean Future Energy has been working on an initiative to boost Nevada’s minimum to 50 percent by 2030.
