Excellent job on your Wednesday editorial “Future of subsidized solar plant appears bleak.” It’s unbelievable how the environmental impacts of solar plants such as Crescent Dunes (salt poured on the desert floor) and Ivanpah (dead birds) have been given a pass by the politicians and public. Taxpayer dollars have just been thrown at undeserving projects without proper scrutiny.

Please continue to expose the realities of renewable energy technologies. They’re not at all what most want to believe.

In his May 21 column, Victor Joecks wrote that we should “stop stressing out about climate change.” On June 3, the Review-Journal featured a story about a survey by UNLV which found that heat is a hot topic.

LETTER: Tinkering with mail-in voting
Jerry Sturdivant Las Vegas

I agree it’s reasonable to call for tighter oversight of mail-in ballot counting (June 6 Review-Journal editorial), but such scrutiny must apply across the board, not just in select areas.

LETTER: Another sad Nevada animal cruelty story
Patricia Reid Las Vegas

We are grateful for the passage of “Reba’s Law” recently at the Nevada Legislature, but heavier fines and penalties are necessary.
