LETTERS: Give solar the opportunity to innovate

In the constant back-and forth-over the recent Public Utilities Commission ruling, one of the arguments in favor of the net metering decision is that solar technology isn’t reliable 100 percent of the time, the way traditional energy is.

LETTERS: Taxpayer-backed Ex-Im Bank pads profits for large corporations

Mehul R. Mehta, plant manager of the GE Engine Service facility in North Las Vegas, believes the U.S. Export-Import Bank is vital to GE and other companies and that without it, they would not be able to compete with foreign companies. He points out that 60 other countries have similar taxpayer-subsidized banks (“Nevada’s congressional delegation must support Ex-Im Bank,” July 30 Review-Journal).

LETTERS: Veterans Home in far better shape than Smith states

Regarding John L. Smith’s column on the Nevada State Veterans Home, I am unable to discuss the pending litigation, but I am able to address other issues raised in the commentary.

THE LATEST
LETTERS: Rooftop solar owners’ outrage misplaced

A recent article on the new rooftop solar rate structure states, and not for the first time, that “filings with the PUC show that any new revenue from the change would go to reducing overall future rate increases for all ratepayers, not to Berkshire Hathaway or its shareholders” (“Agency: Rethink new rate structure,” Jan. 9 Review-Journal).

LETTERS: Renewable energy lacks capacity to meet demand

The controversy about rooftop solar power generation and the prices paid for excess generation versus power drawn from the grid is just a microcosm of what will happen nationwide as politicians mandate ever higher requirements for electric companies to generate more power from renewable sources (solar and wind). These sources of electricity are inherently intermittent and unreliable.

LETTERS: Affordable Care Act alive, well in Nevada

I found it ironic that Stephen T. Parente’s commentary on the “failed” implementation of the Affordable Care Act in Nevada was published the same week that it was reported that a record number of Nevadans had enrolled in health insurance through Nevada Health Link

LETTERS: Rooftop solar owners hardly moochers

In response to David A. Fowler’s letter on the rooftop solar ruling by the Nevada Public Utilities Commission (“Net metering decision,” Tuesday Review-Journal), I have to hand it to the RJ for allowing every possible opinion to be printed.

LETTERS: Article misportrays officer-involved shooting

In response to the article on the officer-involved shooting on New Year’s Eve (“Missteps detailed in shooting,” Tuesday Review-Journal), I would like to see future articles such as this subtitled, “Convicted criminal killed for not following instructions from police,” rather than the R-J’s subtitle, “Unarmed fugitive holding phone killed.”

LETTERS: Rooftop solar owners shouldn’t have to pay extra

NV Energy would have you believe that supplying a rooftop solar customer with electrical power is far different than supplying electrical power to a nonsolar customer. Nothing could not be further from the truth.
