Show Notes
The Trump administrations repeal of the endangerment finding, a key Obama-era rule, could potentially increase national emissions by ten percent over the next thirty years. Despite local mandates, Nevada struggles to cut emissions, with transportation accounting for nearly forty percent. The state faces additional challenges due to federal coal support and new Pentagon deals for coal power. Meanwhile, Tesla settled a fine for running an unpermitted battery recycling plant, with the funds going towards clean truck programs. Researchers at the University of Nevada Reno found mercury levels in Carson River ducks up to sixty times safety limits from old mining pollution. On a positive note, Washoe County has a new fund for green projects and a nine million dollar grant to study cactus pears for biofuel. Lake Mead campsites reopen after trash cleanup, but broader reservoir declines continue amid energy debates.
