To: The Nevada State Senate and Governor Steve Sisolak
Tell NV Governor Brian Sandoval to Stand Up for Clean Power!
For the sake of our kids, communities and climate, please move forward now with a strong state clean power plan to combat climate change.
Why is this important?
The Supreme Court recently voted to stop implementation of the Clean Power Plan (cutting carbon pollution from fossil fuel power plants) until legal challenges are heard.
But climate change is not taking a timeout while the courts ponder. The Arctic won’t stop melting, the oceans will not stop rising, storms will not become less intense, asthma rates won’t come down, and record temperatures won’t cool while lawyers debate.
Despite the Supreme Court decision, states can--and must--continue planning for a rapid transition to clean power. With the impacts of climate change intensifying, our kids and grandkids can’t afford any delay in moving as quickly as possible to a clean energy future.
So far governors from more than a dozen states, from Washington to New Hampshire, have said they are moving forward to develop their state clean power plans. Unfortunately, Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval--who is being vetted by President Obama to fill the Supreme Court vacancy--has not yet made this commitment.
Please sign the petition telling Governor Sandoval to move forward now with a strong state clean power plan to combat climate change.
