In two separate cases yesterday and today, judges in both Clark County and Carson City ruled in favor of Joe Lombardo and NV Energy’s demand charge. In the midst of this cost-of-living crisis, I will not allow big utility companies to unlawfully upcharge Nevadans. See you at the Supreme Court.

Nearly 1 in 5 Nevadans can't afford their electric bill. And now, Joe Lombardo’s demand charge is set to raise prices even higher. I’m already fighting back against the demand charge in court to keep that money in Nevadans’ pockets. And as Governor, I'll continue fighting to lower costs.

Women & femmes in Las Vegas! Join us this Wednesday 5/13 at Cactus Joes Nursery for food and new friends who care about Nevada’s wild places💚🌿☀️

This week’s Freeze the Rates Town Hall was a reminder that energy equity is central to having safe & affordable housing! We are just getting started in our fight to hold NV Energy, Governor Lombardo, and the PUCN accountable for exploiting community members for corporate profits. Not a penny more!⚡️⚡️

Community discussion around NV Energy's demand charge continues, and residents are pointing out a lack of accessibility to public hearings. Read more ➡️ https://www.fox5vegas.com/2026/04/29/las-vegas-advocates-oppose-nv-energy-demand-charge-town-hall/ 

We are grateful to everyone who was able to join us at last night’s FREEZE THE RATES Town Hall! We’re excited to continue building power together and holding our investor-owned utility company accountable👏⚡️ www.ktnv.com/news/souther...

A judge granted a motion made by the Nevada Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection to schedule a hearing on the utility's peak demand charge billing process and whether it violates state law.

Overall customer satisfaction with NV Energy among Southern Nevada residential customers fell from 93% in 2021 to 77% last year, according to research commissioned by the utility.

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

Electricity is not a luxury. It's a necessity!⚡️ We’re ready to tell the Governor and Nevada lawmakers: NOT A PENNY MORE FOR NV ENERGY.🗣️ Join us for a town hall to raise our collective voice and demand an end to skyrocketing rates!‼️🛑 RSVP 🎟️ secure.ngpvan.com/3rp5Os7vFkaG...

Two Nevada legislators have written a letter to Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo, demanding a “comprehensive plan” to address concerns of “structural failures” in the state’s oversight of Elon Musk’s tunneling startup. https://bit.ly/4uRTn5p

Workers & the world unite!!🌍 Join us for TRIVIA NIGHT with @seiu.org Local 1107 Climate Justice Caucus on Thursday 3/26!💚 Win cool prizes and flex your knowledge 🧠💪

Today, I co-presented to the Nevada Legislature’s Regional Rail Transit Advisory Working Group with @sierraclubtoiyabe.bsky.social Transportation Chair Aaron Harris about the environmental impacts of regional rail in Nevada. Nevadans are ready for light rail!! 🚈

“Everyone is exposed, but the experience isn’t equal,” Jackie Spicer, coordinator of the Nevada Environmental Justice Coalition said.🔥☀️

“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⚡️ www.ktnv.com/news/nv-ener...

NV Energy will become the first investor-owned utility to impose a mandatory demand charge on residential and small commercial customers. DETAILS: lvrj.com/post/3723581 

"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." Commentary:

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

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. Read it here: thenevadaindependent.com/article/opin...

Born from both the Civil Rights Movement and the Labor Movement of the 1960s, uncover the powerful history of what “environmental justice” truly means. Join us on 2/27 and let’s explore how this legacy continues to shape our communities in Nevada today. 🌍✊ #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackClimateWeek

"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:

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?☀️ news3lv.com/news/local/e...

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.” energyandpolicy.org/southwest-ga... #nvleg

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 www.ktnv.com/news/termina...

On Tuesday, August 26th, I will be hosting a roundtable on sustainable growth and public lands in Southern Nevada. Here are my special guests! RSVP here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

“It’s a new paradigm when you’re operating and fulfilling all the needs of these manufacturing heat processes without causing health-harming pollution.”

Extreme heat is one of the planet’s clearest warning signs of an unfolding climate catastrophe. The fossil fuel industry - the planet's biggest polluter - is burning our future. #MakePollutersPay

Electricity prices are rising more than twice as fast as overall inflation. That's especially costly during the dog days of summer when air conditioners are working hardest. .

Democrats just lost three of their most influential centrist senators in one election cycle. Catherine Cortez Masto wants to fill the void. www.semafor.com/article/08/0...

⚡ NV Energy uses YOUR money for luxury while Nevadans struggle with rising bills. 💵 With a 9% rate hike, they want MORE at our expense, pushing families into hardship. This isn’t fair!❗❗ We demand transparency and fair prices. Electricity is survival, not a luxury. ✊💡

Could heat pumps finally be ready for large apartment buildings? A new report from @aceee.org is pretty optimistic. @emilypont.bsky.social breaks it all down ⬇️
