SB132 appropriates $500,000 from the State General Fund to the Nevada Clean Energy Fund to help secure and implement grants for qualified clean-energy projects. The money may be used for bridge funding, technical support for agencies, and administrative or staffing needs. The Clean Energy Fund must submit interim and final expenditure reports to the Interim Finance Committee and make its records available for audit, if requested.
The Nevada State Assembly passed SB132 on June 2, 2025 by a vote of 36 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill channels substantial taxpayer money into climate-change programs and regulatory expansions that distort the free market and embrace the false climate-change narrative. Rather than allowing energy choices to develop through voluntary exchange, SB132 empowers the state to direct investment, subsidize favored industries, and impose costly planning mandates—the hallmarks of the globalist and Marxist climate-change agenda. Such central planning inflates state spending, entrenches bureaucratic control, and enables government to pick economic winners and losers.
