On June 7, 2005, the Governor of Nevada signed into law Assembly Bill 3, expanding Nevadas previous Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) (originally established in 1997). The updated standard requires that 20% of the states electricity come from renewable energy sources by 2015, and for each year thereafter. Of the 20%, not less than 5% must be generated from solar renewable energy systems. Utilities can also earn credit for up to 25% of the standard through energy efficiency measures. Sources of energy that count toward the standard include biomass, fuel cells, geothermal, solar, waterpower, and wind. On June 8, 2009 an updated law was signed (law SB 395). This legislation outlines a comprehensive energy bill that contains a variety of climate-related provisions, including the extension and increase of Nevadas RPS. The new RPS (law SP 358) requires 25% of electricity to come from renewable sources by 2025 (compared to the old RPS: 20% by 2015). The new RPS also calls for 6% to come from solar resources by 2016, an increase from 5% by 2015 required by the previous RPS.

Big Oil Eyes Record Profits but Keeps Spending in Check

Oil supermajors have been raking it in since the war in the Middle East began. They are now set to report another robust quarter, even as some jurisdictions where they operate plan to slap windfall taxes on them. The question now is what Big Oil will do with these profits. The answer: it probably won’t be a spending spree. They sure have the money for a spree. If the second quarter is any indication—and it is—oil and gas majors are having a really strong year. Out of all S&P 500 sectors, Energy booked annual growth of 128.2%…

The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 was introduced in the Senate at the end of September and is expected to be debated after the mid-term elections when Congress returns from the recess on November 9. The bill would reinforce statutory deadlines…
