Predictably, Nevada Pulls Out of the U.S. Climate Alliance

From this:

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has withdrawn the state of Nevada from the U.S. Climate Alliance, the national coalition aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The alliance is made up of 25 governors across the country working to advance the goals set out by the Paris Agreement, an international treaty adopted by 196 countries.

In a letter sent by Lombardo on July 5, he describes the group as “ambitious and well-intentioned” though says that its goals “conflict with Nevada’s energy policy objectives.”

He also points to Executive Order 2023-07, which establishes the state’s “energy policy objectives.” These objectives include “developing and maintaining a diverse energy supply portfolio” while “utilizing a balanced approach to electric and natural gas energy supply and transportation fuels.”

Each of the 50 states has a unique political landscape, though Nevada’s is similar to others that feature huge rural expanses populated by undereducated people who tend to be Trump supporters, deeply resentful of all things “woke.”

Thus it comes as no surprise that Nevada’s governor is appealing to these people’s sensibilities, thumbing his nose at our extreme dire environmental issues.

We either find a way around spineless and greedy politicians, or we slowly bake our planet.
