Video: NV Energy

Nevada State Assembly candidate Vinny Spotleson (District 41) is focused on lowering energy utility costs for local families, regulating corporate utility monopolies, and expanding clean energy access across Southern Nevada.

In this video update, Vinny outlines his record and plan for clean, affordable energy:

Holding Corporate Utilities Accountable: Vinny refuses campaign contributions from NV Energy, arguing that the Nevada Legislature must exercise its power to properly regulate utility monopolies rather than letting costs rise for consumers.

Expanding Solar to Lower Utility Bills: Despite Southern Nevada having abundant solar resources, local residents continue to face high electricity costs. Vinny advocates for expanding rooftop solar energy development across schools, apartments, local businesses, and parking lot shade structures (such as Liberty High School) to generate clean power locally.

Creating Good-Paying Local Union Jobs: Investing in local rooftop and canopy solar projects will spur clean energy job growth across the district while driving down power bills.

A Proven Track Record on Clean Energy: Vinny has a proven history of taking on NV Energy and winning—helping force the closure of the Reid Gardner coal plant in Moapa and fighting to restore rooftop solar net metering in 2017 so homeowners get proper credit for the power they generate.

“With so much sunlight, Nevada families should be paying some of the lowest energy prices anywhere in the country.” — Vinny Spotleson
