Issue Position: Energy & the Environment

Issue Position

Nevada is home to stunning natural beauty. If we want to maintain Nevada's natural heritage, Jacky believes we need to ensure our public lands are protected and remain accessible for generations to come. That's why she's fighting to protect our incredible National Monuments at Gold Butte and Basin and Range.

The Trump Administration's efforts to relicense the failed Yucca Mountain project represent a dire threat to our safety and our environment. In the Senate, Jacky will continue her work to ensure Nevada does not become a dumping ground for the rest of the nation's nuclear waste.

Jacky is committed to Nevada's leadership on solar and other forms of renewable energy. As the former president of Nevada's largest synagogue, Jacky led a team to build one of the largest solar projects by a nonprofit in the city of Henderson, cutting energy costs by up to 70 percent. As the threat of climate change looms, she will continue advocating for action that reduces carbon pollution, defends our clean air and water, and promotes clean energy jobs. Because of her strong record supporting responsible environmental policies, Jacky has earned a 97% score from the League of Conservation Voters.
