The Bring Back Solar Alliance is a coalition of Nevada businesses, not-for-profits, and outraged homeowners working together to fight the Public Utilities Commissions unpopular decision that drove the solar industry out of state. The Alliance has filed a referendum that would let the voters overturn these rules in November. The referendum is supported by over 90,000 Nevadans, nearly double the 55,000 signatures needed to put the referendum on the ballot.
Founded in 1993, the Evangelical Environmental Network is a ministry that educates, inspires, and mobilizes Christians in their effort to care for Gods creation. It works to equip individuals, families, and churches with the information they need to make a difference in their communities, to be faithful stewards of Gods provision, and to advocate for actions and policies that honor God and protect the environment.
As conservatives and as Christians, the Evangelical Environmental Network is devoted to expanding clean energy to care for Gods creation, our environment, said Alexei Laushkin, the Vice-President of the Evangelical Environmental Network. Thats why we and our 10,000 supporters in Nevada are proud to join the Bring Back Solar campaign to expand clean energy and free our children from pollution. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform how we create electricity for our homes and businesses not with the old, dirty, outdated, wasteful approaches from the past, like fossil fuel power plants run by state-sanctioned monopolies. Instead, we can use clean, new, innovative approaches like those powered by sunshine, such as rooftop solar owned by families and individuals. And Nevada can lead the way.
As a national organization, the Evangelical Environmental Network has seen the utilities battle against solar nationwide. By joining forces with the Bring Back Solar Alliance, the Evangelical Environmental Network adds its voice to the nearly 90% of Nevadans from both political parties who believe that the Public Utilities Commission made the wrong decision when it eliminated solar net metering in Nevada.
