Tim Miller writes, "The bill makes sweeping changes to clean energy tax credits—changes that will increase household energy costs and slow vital clean-energy investments in our state."

Amy Cilimburg and Abby Huseth write, "Climate advocates and policy nerds had been bracing for more rollbacks and, honestly, we don’t shock easily. But this budget bill is even worse than anticipated. Squashing rooftop solar in its tracks really is quite shocking!"

Shared solar projects are gaining momentum across the country with more than 44 states offering similar programs.

Following a federal judge’s order, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has lifted the funding freeze on $156 million in community solar for Nevada, but other program funds remain paused.

Washington was locked out of about $150 million in federal funding for solar projects focused on low-income communities last week as the Trump administration paused clean energy grants.

Nevada is one of several states being cut off from millions of dollars in community solar funding, despite those funds already being legally obligated to the state.

Amy Cilimburg writes, "Clean electricity powered by the sun is the future. It really is time to turn off fossil fuels and turn to the sun."

Federal land managers will determine whether one of the largest potential power-producing solar plants in the world can be built just up the road from a wildlife refuge home to a trove of species found nowhere else on the planet.

Many of Trump’s fellow Republicans represent states that reap big benefits from the IRA, and some have openly vowed defiance if necessary to protect the law.

Oil and gas production in Nevada has always been negligible, and both industry and environmentalists remain skeptical that significant production in Nevada will make economic sense any time soon.
