LETTER: Nevada must make it easier for residents to go green

When I purchased my home in 2017, having solar panels was a significant factor in our decision. It was important to me and my family because it would greatly reduce the cost of our electricity bill and give us a reliable source of energy.

Our next goal is to purchase an electric vehicle so we can further utilize our solar panels at home and contribute less to the pollution that’s affecting our health and the environment. However, I’m still reluctant because I would like to see more charging stations around the city. If the state and urban cities in Nevada invest in widespread charging infrastructure, it could help not just me, but many other Nevadans out there to have the confidence to finally go electric.

That’s why I support legislation that will expand Nevada’s electric vehicle charging network. The future of transportation is electric, and we must start adapting now to accommodate more and more drivers making the switch to electric vehicles. This is one way to get polluting vehicles off our road and to make the transition to clean energy solutions easier for Nevadans.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
