“We have almost completely kicked coal out of Nevada … I don’t think we’ll see any bit of coal burned in Nevada in the 2030s. There will be zero.” Where dirty fossil fuel burned for half a century, batteries now store power and guard against outages. thenevadaindependent.com/article/site-o…
Expect politicians to keep talking about the rail connecting Vegas and SoCal. That includes the president, who reminded voters that while train plans have been floated since the 1980s, it was Biden who is “get[ting] this sucker done.” @birenbomb: thenevadaindependent.com/article/d-c-do…
Opponents of an anti-camping ordinance argue that Washoe County can’t arrest its way out of homelessness. But police say they do play a role. “If it's not our job, then whose is it? Because we're the [ones that] always get called.” @csauvageau_1998: thenevadaindependent.com/article/as-was…
A long-awaited Nevada DMV modernization project is likely delayed and may cost $300 million more than originally anticipated, officials told lawmakers. @eric_neugeboren explains: thenevadaindependent.com/article/long-a…

For nearly five decades, the Reid Gardner Power Station stood in stark juxtaposition to the Muddy River: a bastion of steel and cement belching toxic particulates into the air while producing hundreds of megawatts of power. Now, it's a clean energy haven. thenevadaindependent.com/article/site-o…
OPINION "Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) rightly argued in a recent Senate hearing that the move is going to wreak havoc on delivery times for local mail." No, there’s no ‘business case’ for the USPS move out of Reno By @schausmichael thenevadaindependent.com/article/no-the…
OPINION "The idea that Sibella and a couple of unnamed casino hosts were the only MGM employees who knew of Nix’s illegal status..seems pretty far-fetched." What’s next for the gamblers banned from MGM Grand in Nix betting investigation? By John L. Smith thenevadaindependent.com/article/whats-…
OPINION "If Amodei were a principled non-interventionist, I’d understand what principles he’s operating from...That, however, is not what his voting record shows." If Trump could change his mind on Ukraine, why couldn’t Amodei? By @DavidColborne thenevadaindependent.com/article/if-tru…
As a tough rental market drives some to live in their cars, Washoe County grapples with how to respond. @csauvageau_1998 reports on new rules adding penalties for camping near the river and sleeping in a vehicle or on a sidewalk. thenevadaindependent.com/article/as-was…
Once the future of industrialization, the death knell is ringing for coal across the nation and in Nevada. Reid Gardner Power Station near Moapa, once rated the nation’s dirtiest coal plant, is now home to a battery storage system. Amy Alonzo reports: thenevadaindependent.com/article/site-o…
The Brightline West groundbreaking was the kind of kumbaya event that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law — which appropriated $36 billion for intercity passenger rail — was meant to facilitate, @birenbomb reports in this week's D.C. Download: thenevadaindependent.com/article/d-c-do…
No high-speed rail proposal connecting Southern California to Las Vegas, has ever made it to the construction stage -- until now. In this week's D.C. Download, @birenbomb reports on the potential benefits and pitfalls of the Brightline project: thenevadaindependent.com/article/d-c-do…
To increase enrollment, state officials are working to modernize the state’s federally funded WIC (Women, Infants & Children) Program. @tabitha_mueller details why participation rates lag other safety net programs and efforts to change that. thenevadaindependent.com/article/only-h…
Despite the practicalities on their side, members of a Nevada commission agreed that when it comes to Yucca Mountain, they can never be too careful — and wondered aloud whether they should have been more aggressive in the run-up to a recent House hearing. thenevadaindependent.com/article/nevada…

State officials estimate that though more than 116,000 families in Nevada qualify for the WIC (Women, Infants & Children) food and benefits program, only about 50 percent of those families take advantage of it. @tabitha_mueller explores the barriers: thenevadaindependent.com/article/only-h…
