Clean energy advocates applauded legislative leaders’ decision to allow additional time for consideration of two key clean energy bills, exempting them from today’s deadline for bills to be voted out of committee. They say the measures will increase the amount of renewable energy utilities get from clean, in-state resources; restore the state’s rooftop solar industry; and create new community solar projects in Nevada. Andy Maggi executive director of the Nevada Conservation League says the decision to give these bills more time for study and negotiation is a testament to their importance. Clean energy and energy efficiency already employs more than 20,000 people in Nevada.
