To Nevada’s policymakers and utility regulators,

As Nevada utility customers, we demand that NV Energy and Southwest Gas focus on cost-saving clean energy solutions for our communities. The seemingly endless rate hikes and surges in the price of methane (natural) gas mean that winter heating and summer air conditioning bills are too high for people to afford. It is unfair for these monopoly companies to increase their profits and continue polluting in a way that costs us all. We are counting on our utility regulators and policy makers to put an end to this and protect struggling families and businesses.

Nevada’s dependence on out-of-state, dirty, and expensive fossil fuels puts our financial and physical health in danger. With the federal government making the largest investment into clean energy and pollution reduction in American history, our state has the opportunity to move away from the bad policies of the past, bringing lower bills and cleaner air for all Nevadans.

We urge our regulators and state legislators to hold utility companies accountable and champion real solutions to reduce our bills and invest in local, pollution-free clean energy. Nevada families, not corporations and their Wall Street shareholders, must come first.

Respectfully,

A concerned customer
