Energy development
  • In July 2014, Brian Sandoval said, "I support (fracking) as long as it is done in conjunction with and subject to the review of the Department of Minerals," according to The Las Vegas Review-Journal.[1]
  • In 2011, Sandoval sent a letter to President Obama asking him to "to remove the requirement that all Federal Register notices dealing with the mining permitting process through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) be approved through the U.S. Department of Interior’s (DOI) Washington, D.C. headquarters before being allowed to be published in the Federal Register," according to NV.gov.[2]
Climate change
  • According to Real Clear Politics, in June 2014, Brian Sandoval said, "'I think Nevada’s gone a long way to work toward a goal of cleaner and more efficient production of energy,' he said. In fact, Sandoval asserted that the Silver State is 'a leader nationally, in terms of being able to meet … those new EPA standards that were just issued. And we did this before they were even announced publicly.'"[3]
  • According to NV.gov, on May 17, 2013, "U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval today jointly called for the passage of a legislative proposal to accelerate the retirement of coal plants owned by NV Energy and to expand renewable energy development in Nevada in the coming years."[4]
  • Sandoval said, "The benefits of this energy proposal for Nevada are many. SB 123 would create over 4,000 new jobs while ensuring Nevada remains the renewable energy capital of the country. I look forward to working with the Legislature on this important public policy and urge the Legislature’s support so that I can sign it into law. Senator Reid is recognized as a national leader for clean energy and I appreciate his support in helping move Nevada closer to realizing its clean energy potential."[4]
