🎄 As we head into the holiday season, we’re wrapping up the week with 5️⃣ pieces of #GoodClimateNews! There’s progress happening across #NV, from our neighborhoods to our open spaces, and it’s all powered by people like you. #Nevada #Climate #Environment #HappyNews #GoodNews

STATEMENT: Despite having a clear chance to reverse course and stand with #NV families, the #PUCN chose to keep the deeply unpopular daily demand charge. This vote came even after unanimous opposition from everyday Nevadans and consumer advocates who warned the charge violates #NV law.

ICYMI: We’re stronger together. Let’s continue to stand side-by-side and speak up against NV Energy’s pattern of bad behavior. At the #PUCN General Consumer Session, Nevadans from every walk of life showed up to demand accountability from NV Energy. But our work isn’t done. 👇

🚨 JUST IN: Regulators will reconsider NV Energy’s controversial Daily Demand Charge, the same billing scheme that could penalize families for their highest 15 minutes of energy use each day. @KTNV.bsky.social reporting 👇 buff.ly/U4Dnr9i

🌞 We’re closing out the week with 5️⃣ pieces of #GoodClimateNews. 🌿 Progress is happening right here in #NV, and it’s thanks to people like you. Which win this week made you smile most? Share below! 👇 #Nevada #Climate #Environment #HappyNews #GoodNews

⛰️ Our #PublicLands are more than scenic views, they’re outdoor classrooms that teach us who we are, they’re our libraries that house our stories, they’re our museums that hold our history, and our playgrounds hold our joy. @americanprogress.bsky,social reporting: buff.ly/9mOsvOA

🌥️ #NV: We’re closing out the week with 5️⃣ pieces of #GoodClimateNews! From saving more on our bills to cleaner ways to cook, and more Nevadans getting out into our mountains, rivers, and deserts, our future is looking brighter. 💚

STATEMENT: As bills keep climbing, NV Energy just admitted the overcharge total is now $65.5M. That’s decades of errors, and thousands of households who may never see a refund. We all deserve energy we can actually afford, with clear answers and honest billing 👇

⚡ Las Vegas mom Paulette Henriod turned rising bills into savings: installing solar and inspiring her neighbors to do the same. Federal clean-energy tax credits have helped Nevadans save $137M on upgrades, but some are ending soon... 📖 Read her story: buff.ly/mPZ9iVf

🕷️🕸️🎃 #NV: We’re celebrating Nevada Day and Halloween! 💚🌳🌿 From spooky movies at our state parks to protecting our night skies, planting trees, and celebrating our Tribal history and culture, #NV's future is looking brighter than ever.

#NV: We deserve a fair process, one where everyone can weigh in, not just corporate lobbyists. We’re calling for: 👉 A 90-day comment period (like before) 👉 Public meetings online + in person 👉 Transparency and accountability Take action at: buff.ly/CQRFs0R

💬 ICYMI: On October 22, Nevadans showed up and spoke out. From seniors on fixed incomes to solar owners, families across the valley filled the #PUCN hearing room to demand fairness, transparency, and accountability from NV Energy. #FOX5Vegas reporting: buff.ly/zuM1pgc

📣 Last year, the government held 90 days of public input — meetings, FAQs, translations — when creating the Public Lands Rule. This year? None. Just 60 days, zero meetings, and it’s happening during a shutdown when staff can’t even answer questions…

Trump and his policies are making utilities richer and families struggle. He needs to stop banning #CheapCleanEnergy

🗣️ ICYMI: They’re trying to keep us quiet. The Dept. of Interior wants to repeal the Public Lands Rule, without any public meetings, outreach, or transparency. That rule keeps 245M acres of shared lands balanced for conservation, recreation, and cultural protection.

🌥️ #NV: We’re closing out the week with 5️⃣ pieces of #GoodClimateNews! From community wins to environmental progress, #NV's future is looking brighter, and just in time for #NevadaDay and Halloween! 🎃💚

🗣️ Every Nevadan who pays an energy bill has a stake in this fight. Your story on how rising bills affect your home, your health, or your small business, is evidence regulators need to hear: 🧵

⚠️ Tonight’s the night! We’re heading to the #PUCN General Consumer Session to tell regulators what high bills really mean for #NV families. This is our chance to demand transparency, accountability, and fair rates 👇

🗣️ From cooling shut-offs to overcharges and outages, Nevadans are tired of being asked to pay more for less. Ariel, Brandon, and Jodi all spoke out about what NV Energy’s rate hikes really mean: higher bills, bad service, and broken trust.

So, let’s talk about the pattern. While Nevadans struggle with higher bills, NV Energy asked regulators to let them charge customers for limousine rides, luxury hotels, liquor tabs, and corporate retreats, all buried inside their latest $216M rate hike request... 🧵

⌛️ Day 19 of the government shutdown, and we're all feeling the fallout. 🎥 Hear NCL’s @CamToddNV on @News3LV explain how Speaker Mike Johnson’s political chaos is hurting #NV's $8B outdoor economy, and share what you’ve seen ➡️: bit.ly/protectnvlands

🗣️ Leticia, a Las Vegas resident, shared how her family is struggling to keep the lights and A/C on as costs continue to rise. No family should have to choose between cooling their home and buying groceries.

🧵Over the past year, Nevadans learned that NV Energy overcharged more than 80,000 customers, totaling at least $17M in wrongful billing. These weren’t one-off mistakes. They were part of a years-long pattern of mismanagement and neglect…

🌟 Before we wrap up the week, let’s take a moment to celebrate 5️⃣ environmental and community wins across #NV! And if you’re in #LV, don’t miss your chance to take action: join us Wednesday, Oct. 22, for the General Consumer Session ⬇️ RSVP now at >> bit.ly/fairenergynv.

😠 We power #NV, and we shouldn’t pay more to cover NV Energy’s scandals and bad behavior. This is our one chance this year to tell the #PUCN how their decisions are hurting families, workers, and neighbors across our state. 📣 Join us on Wed., Oct. 22 for the Consumer Session:

🧵 ICYMI: This year’s #HomeMeansNevada Dinner was a night of gratitude, stories, and community. We honored Nevadans who fight every day to protect our environment and make our state fairer for families. 🌄

STATEMENT: On Oct. 1, Nevadans woke up to closed parks, rising costs, and public services held hostage so billionaires and corporations could be protected. 💬 “A shutdown is a bad deal for #NV's public lands, our people, and our outdoor economy.” - NCL ED, Kristee Watson 👇

🚨 Oil companies drill. They profit. Then they skip town and leave us holding a $15B cleanup bill. 91% of Nevadans agree: you make a mess, you clean it up.

🗣️ Your power bill isn’t waiting to go up, and neither should you! There are just **HOURS** left to claim up to $7,500 in EV savings before the deadline hits at midnight! 👉 SaveEnergyNV.org

🍂 Wrapping up the week with 5️⃣ uplifting stories from our community. Change is blooming, and it’s happening all around us. 🌱✨ Which moment this week brought a smile to your face? Drop it in the comments! 👇

⚡️ Our power grid is stretched thin. Families, schools, and small businesses can’t afford more blackouts or higher bills. Solar for All means reliable power and lasting savings. Congress must protect this commonsense program that keeps #NV running ⬇️

🗣️ *TOMORROW* is the day, #NV! Grab your hat, your friends, and your family because we’ll be at Freedom Park starting bright and early. ⏰ TIME: 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Join us for: ✅ Volunteer cleanup ✅ Baby goats ✅ Free food

⚡️ We know that home repairs never come at the right time. But there's good news: federal tax credits can ease the upfront cost of making upgrades that keep our homes cooler, safer, and more affordable. Start planning with @rewiringamerica.bsky.social 👇: buff.ly/1CSIPFn

💪 SOUTHERN NEVADA: This Saturday is your chance to make a #Monumental impact. Whether you're new to volunteering or a lifelong outdoor advocate, your presence matters. 🗓️ Sept. 27 | Freedom Park | 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

🚨 ICYMI: #NV won $156M — the most per person in the country — to lower energy bills for 50,000+ households and create nearly 1,000 jobs. But now, it’s on hold. And families are left with nothing but higher bills and fewer opportunities. We can’t let this stand…

Ignoring other electricity load, households will pay $20 more per month to cool their homes during summer months with this new “utility tax”. The new pricing structure is was passed without public comment. #Nevada Read more: thenevadaindependent.com/article/nv-e...

🌡️ In #NV, we know the heat isn’t letting up anytime soon. If your A/C is on its last leg, you could upgrade to a heat pump and save *BIG* with federal tax credits! These savings expire in four months, so don’t miss your chance. @rewiringamerica.bsky.social has the details🔗: buff.ly/1CSIPFn

💰 Every grocery run. Every utility bill. It all adds up. Clean energy tax credits can help lower monthly costs if we grab them in time! 🗓️ Deadlines are coming up! See what you qualify for at: SaveEnergyNV.org.

Solar works. Clean energy works. Now it’s time to make it work for every one of us. 💡 Tomorrow is #SunDay, Sept. 21: a nationwide day of action to celebrate progress and demand clean energy that lowers bills, cleans our air, and powers #NV's future.
