There's no doubt that humans have altered the climate. That's particularly bad for Nevada, the driest state in the nation with triple-digit summers. If we don't act, we'll keep getting hotter and drier, facing a decreased water supply, health impacts from extreme heat, and the loss of habitat as a result. Nevada can lead the nation down a smarter path. We can leave a sustainable legacy to future generations that also diversifies and strengthens our local economy:
* Chart a path to 100 percent renewable energy use in the coming decades and require half of our energy to be renewable by 2030

* Ban fracking

* Protect rooftop solar customers and expand access through community solar programs

* Ensure we have the smartest and most sustainable water use laws in the country

* Protect and promote access to our public lands and waters
