Great news - a new report ranked Nevada as the top state for clean energy investment in the last year!
I've fought in the Senate to make Nevada a clean energy leader because itโs creating good-paying jobs and helping our families get ahead. And it's working.
The first week of #COP28 was marked by major methane announcements. But to understand their importance, you need to understand methane's climate impacts. Our @ilissaocko breaks it down with 10 fast facts.๐๐ฝ

Congratulations to @SenJackyRosen for receiving one of our 2nd Annual #ClimateChangeMaker Awards! Thank you, Sen. Rosen, for advocating for cleaner air and growing the clean energy economy in Nevada and across the country! ๐๐
Methane traps 80 times more heat than carbon pollution. Thankfully, @EPA took a major step to curb this toxic pollutant and mitigate the most dire impacts of climate change. @POTUS must build on this momentum and finalize more #SolutionsForPollution
there really IS good climate news: "EPA has issued a final rule that will sharply reduce emissions of methane and other harmful air pollution from oil and natural gas operations โ including, for the first time, from existing sources nationwide" #itsofficial#solutionsforpollution
OPINION:
"Affordable, safe and reliable energy is the backbone of our stateโs economy."
A diversified and balanced approach to energy is working for Nevada

Today marks two years since the #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw was signed by @POTUS.
This bill is investing in #SouthernNevada roads and bridges, airports, public transit, clean water, and high-speed internet - all while creating good-paying, union jobs.
The proposed cuts to the @EPA are WILD. We need our Nevada representatives to continue to defend attacks on our climate and environmental protections. @repdinatitus@RepSusieLee@RepHorsford https://t.co/ZdXTswbWvG
While anti-climate extremists are trying to rollback our progress, climate champions like @repHorsford are fighting back. Thank you for your commitment to protecting climate! #DefendOurClimate
"The cuts proposed by House Republicans...and their riders to slash environmental justice programs put many of our hardest-working communities at the greatest risk to the impacts of air, water, chemical, and climate pollution." -@RepHorsford#DontCutClimate#DefendOurClimate
Nevadans, the climate crisis isn't going away. We need strong #SolutionsForPollution to meet @POTUS's goal of cutting climate pollution in half by 2030๐ฑ
Stand with us during @actonclimateUS' #WeekOfAction for a greener, healthier NV!

The historic climate investments we helped pass will make a big difference in tackling the climate crisis, but there's more to be done. If @POTUS is going to meet his goal of cutting climate pollution in ยฝ by 2030, we need strong #SolutionsForPollution! https://t.co/IaZCaNBMzr
Thank you to all of the @SEEC members working tirelessly to #DefendOurClimate from extreme efforts to rollback key investments that are helping families save money and tackling the climate crisis. #DontCutClimate
Now is the time to invest in clean energy, protect public health, and advance environmental justice. We need to slash harmful climate pollution, NOT @EPA funding. Thank you, @RepHaleyStevens, for your work to #DefendOurClimate!
"How many more breaths of toxic air do we have to take before the people in power take action?" Watch Pittsburghโs Alyssa Lyon urge the @EPA & @POTUS to enact the strongest possible #SolutionsForPollutionNOW and join her in making your voice heard at https://t.co/6ALMIsEVp3!
๐จ NEW: House Republicans have already voted to repeal @POTUS and Democrats' clean energy plan 25 TIMES.
That would kill 96,216+ clean energy jobs in *Republican districts alone*.
More in LCV, @ClimatePower, & @actonclimateUS's new tracker ๐

This ANA, Inc. facility in Southern Nevada is on track to bring hundreds of jobs into our community that are on the cutting edge of innovation and clean energy.
It was great to see their work first-hand that's creating opportunities for our workers in the clean energy economy.
