Nevada Sues Federal Government Over Colorado River Water Management Plan, Citing Existential Threat to Las Vegas

Nevada Sues Federal Government Over Colorado River Water Management Plan, Citing Existential Threat to Las Vegas

Nevada has filed a lawsuit against the federal government regarding its new management plan for the Colorado River. The state argues that the plan unfairly burdens Las Vegas with disproportionate water cuts, potentially leading to a 71% reduction in its water supply. This move comes as a surprise to many Colorado River experts, who anticipated Arizona would be the first to litigate, given its expected significant cuts. Nevada officials have historically advocated for compromise and conservation in river negotiations, positioning themselves as a 'middle basin' state. However, the state asserts that the federal plan, developed after over two years of failed interstate negotiations, misinterprets existing law and did not adequately consider alternatives to such drastic cuts for its urban centers. The federal plan primarily focuses on reducing water usage in the Lower Basin states—Arizona, Nevada, and California—to maintain water levels in critical reservoirs, which are rapidly declining due to overuse and pro...

New Mexico Sues U.S. Customs and Border Protection Over Alleged Illegal Water Well Drilling Near Southern Border

New Mexico Sues U.S. Customs and Border Protection Over Alleged Illegal Water Well Drilling Near Southern Border

The New Mexico Office of the State Engineer has filed a lawsuit against U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and three of its contractors. The lawsuit alleges unauthorized groundwater drilling in three basins near the state's southern border: Mimbres, Hachita, and Lower Rio Grande. According to KOAT legal expert John Day, this is one of the most direct lawsuits he can recall where the federal government is accused of 'stealing our water.' State Engineer Elizabeth Anderson emphasized her agency's commitment to protecting New Mexico's water resources, water rights holders, and water users, describing the situation as 'uncharted territory.' The lawsuit highlights that groundwater resources in these areas are 'finite' and crucial for the livelihoods of New Mexicans, including ranchers and farmers. This legal action follows a trend of states and tribal entities challenging federal border-related activities, such as a recent lawsuit by a Native community in southern Arizona against the Department of Homeland...

California Public Utilities Commission Policy Shift Causes Significant Decline in Residential Solar Demand and Job Losses

California Public Utilities Commission Policy Shift Causes Significant Decline in Residential Solar Demand and Job Losses

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) implemented a policy change in late 2022 that slashed the rate utilities pay homeowners for surplus solar power by approximately 75%. This new rate structure took effect for solar applicants starting last April, leading to a dramatic decline in consumer demand for residential solar installations. Data from May through November of last year showed an 82% decrease in solar connection applications compared to the previous year, with a 90% decline in May alone. This policy shift has severely impacted the solar industry in California, the largest solar market in the country, resulting in significant job losses, estimated at up to 17,000 solar workers by the end of last year. Companies are facing layoffs and even closures, with some installers reporting sales plummeting from hundreds of deals to just one in a month.
