📰 In a new Op-Ed in the #RGJ, our partners at #FriendsofNVWild urge Nevadans to take a closer look at 'Sell-Off Steve’s' record and how his leadership could put our #PublicLands at risk.

Families are sounding the alarm: costs keep rising, especially energy bills.

Grateful @cortezmasto.senate.gov and @rosen.senate.gov are listening, and we're proud to see legislation to restore energy-efficiency tax credits and lower costs.

🌴 Happy Friday, #NV!

This week, we saw #GoodClimateNews for wildlife, water conservation, and the places we love, from Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge and beyond.

A healthy democracy depends on the rule of law, basic rights, and accountability.

We are deeply disturbed by the Trump administration’s actions through #DHS and #ICE that are terrorizing communities and, most recently in Minnesota, contributed to violence and the tragic loss of lives.

🧵 ICYMI: Reno now ranks among the world’s top emerging data center markets.

A new Op-Ed looks at the rapid growth of data centers in #NNV and raises questions many of us are starting to ask.

#RGJ reports: buff.ly/Eihew1h
Does Nevada need all the data centers?
The partially inaccurate line attributed to the Kevin Costner film "Field of Dreams," “If you build it, they will come,” is often used to justify the creation of something different. Like the movie — if you build an iconic baseball diamond in the middle of an Iowa cornfield, your passed-away father may return and “have a catch” with you.

📣 Nevadans shouldn’t be stuck paying for costs regulators said we don’t owe.

State investigators are considering a $1M fine after the monopoly utility tried to include repair costs, even though the #PUCN had explicitly ordered those costs excluded.

@reviewjournal.com reports: buff.ly/hrM3V43
NV Energy could be fined $1M. Here’s what to know
The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada has recommended a $1 million fine against NV Energy for attempting to pass repair costs onto ratepayers during its 2025 general rate case.

🧵 THREAD: State investigators say it’s time for NV Energy to fully pay Nevadans back.

New filings from #PUC staff urge regulators to require full refunds, with interest, after finding that the utility overcharged more than 100,000 of us nearly $65.5M.

Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy by asking a real, present-day question: If access to our #PublicLands costs more, who gets left out?

Outdoor recreation supports jobs, strengthens local economies across rural and urban #NV, and improves public health 👇

🚨 ACTION ALERT: President Trump wants Steve Pearce, who has a long track record of selling off our public lands, to run #BLM

Pearce backed bills to sell public land, weaken national monuments, and put oil and gas first.

The Bureau of Land Management needs a steward, not a sell-out.

🧵 1/3 ICYMI: Most of us don’t know who sits on our public utility commissions, but these regulators quietly shape our energy bills, our clean energy future, and how much profit utilities, like NV Energy are guaranteed.

From adaptive skiing in Tahoe to Christmas tree recycling in Vegas, there’s plenty of #GoodNews to celebrate across #NV.

🚨 BREAKING: @Harpers.bsky.social looks at a powerful system most of us never see: state public utility commissions.

These commissions determine how much utilities can charge us, how much profit they are allowed to make, and which projects we pay for.

🚨 ICYMI: According to state regulators, NV Energy tried to quietly roll repair costs into future rates, costs that were supposed to stay off our bills.

Regulators say the charges were removed only after they were caught, and are now seeking a $1M fine.

New year, same NV Energy.

It looks like NV Energy didn’t add "do better by customers" to its New Year’s resolutions... 🙄

Investigators say the utility tried to charge customers for repair costs caused by the utility’s own mistakes.

👏 Thank you, @titus.house.gov and @susielee.house.gov!

You stood with us by voting NO on the Mining Regulatory Clarity Act, a bill that would make it easier for mining companies to claim long-term control over our shared #PublicLands with limited oversight.

🎄 We’re closing out the year with 5️⃣ pieces of #GoodClimateNews!

Across #NV, we’re celebrating wins for our land, art, wildlife, and communities.
December 19, 2025 at 6:02 PM
And that’s a wrap… literally! 🎁

Crossings and fencing reduce collisions by up to 90%, making all of us safer on the road.

This holiday season, let’s trade close calls on dark highways for cocoa stops, cheery music, and time with the people (and wildlife!) we love.

🎄 This holiday season, we’re adding something special to our wishlist: more people fighting for the state we call home.

Meet our newest Communications Organizer, Bri Schmidt (they/them)!

🌲🦌 #NV’s wildlife has always been part of our story, from desert tortoises to bighorn sheep to roaming pronghorn.

They’re part of what makes our state feel like home.

But with 500+ wildlife collisions each year, too many families and wildlife face real danger on our roads.
December 17, 2025 at 5:31 PM
Let’s save money and lives this holiday season.

Most of us are stretched thin this time of year: travel plans ✈️, gift lists 🎁, and even those pricey coffees ☕ add up fast.

The last thing any of us need is an unexpected crash on the way home.
December 15, 2025 at 6:03 PM
And that’s a wrap for us here at NCL! Thanks for replaying the year with us as we look forward to 2026. Thousands of Nevadans joined us to hold NV Energy accountable when they overcharged 80,000 of our neighbors by millions for over two decades.
December 13, 2025 at 1:00 AM
Safer roads. Safer holidays. A safer Nevada.

🚗 Whether we’re driving across Highway 50 to Ely or down 95 to Vegas, many of us have seen wildlife along the shoulder and felt that tense moment of swerving to avoid disaster.
