This will help create more good-paying jobs, lower energy costs, and strengthen American energy independence. “Hardworking families are being squeezed by ongoing inflation and sky-high cost of living, particularly due to rising energy prices. I’ve always been clear that lowering costs for Nevada families and creating good-paying jobs are priorities for me, and this historic bipartisan bill will allow us to achieve both,” said Senator Rosen. “As the state with the most solar jobs per capita and an abundance of geothermal and other clean energy sources, Nevada stands to greatly benefit from increased investments in renewable energy projects that create good-paying jobs and lower energy costs, all while reducing carbon emissions. Unfortunately, current government red tape has made it nearly impossible to bring these clean energy projects online, which is why sensible reform like this bipartisan bill is needed. While further improvements can and should be made to strengthen this bill, we cannot squander the opportunity to deliver results and lower costs for families.” ### Facebook-f Instagram Youtube Flickr Contact Email Jacky Request a Meeting Office Locations Newsletter Signup Privacy Policy Contact Email Jacky Request a Meeting Office Locations Newsletter Signup Privacy Policy For Nevadans Constituent Services Help With a Federal Agency Flag Requests Tour Requests Internships Senate Page Nominations Academy Nominations For Nevadans Constituent Services Help With a Federal Agency Flag Requests Tour Requests Internships Senate Page Nominations Academy Nominations Resource Guides Veterans Resource Guide Senior Resource Guide Small Business Pocket Guide Federal Funding Grant Requests Appropriations Requests Community Project Funding Resource Guides Veterans Resource Guide Senior Resource Guide Small Business Pocket Guide Federal Funding Grant Requests Appropriations Requests Community Project Funding About Jacky Biography Committees Voting Record Legislation News Press Releases In the News Videos About Jacky Biography Committees Voting Record Legislation News Press Releases In the News Videos
