Reno, Washoe take lead in monitoring energy and carbon emissions

A big announcement Thursday--one that city and state officials can rightly point to and say our local governments are taking a leadership role in the fight against climate change.

The setting for the announcement was a northwest Reno fire station, but, in fact, it could have been at any local government location. The fire station, like city hall, other government buildings, city and county equipment and vehicles all collectively consume a lot of energy.

In the face of climate change, there’s added reason these days to try to make sure we consume less and use what we have efficiently. and this press conference was held to announce the way forward to that goal.

A Reno-based software company, Ledger 8760, is partnering with the city and county to install a monitoring system to track energy use and carbon emissions.

And though the aim is reduced emissions those kinds of decisions should also lead to savings of public dollars.

But the governor said, “If we don’t get a hand on climate change, economics aren’t going to matter much.”

The company has done this sort of monitoring for industry. this is the first time--apparently anywhere--it’s being used by a local government.

“I’m a very competitive mayor so i always like to be first out of the gate,” said Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve, “But I also think we will pave the way for other cities that can be innovative and use innovative technology. I think it speaks volumes about the city of reno that we’re always on the forefront and not afraid to take chances.”

OFFS! Gee, what else and how much time and effort and TAX dollars can we waste on meaningless BS? The stoopid really hurts. Sissypants first and hopefully only term is up next year. Sadly, he really only represents vegas and reno. The rest of the state? They couldn't give two craps. And our mare skivvies? Useless. But, she says she's a competitive mare so....

To be expected from these assclowns. I don’t think they actually know what “carbon neutral/netzero carbon” means.

Waste of taxpayer money, all they need to do is kick out illegals to reduce usage and emissions. Maybe spend a bit of time as well cleaning the city, which is increasingly filthy.

How interesting Governor, your bosom buddies, the Chinese, believe exactly the opposite. And I suspect they are much, much smarter than you could ever hope to be.

I bet if the US forced all the elites to fly regular airlines instead of private jets we would already meet Biden’s 2030 greenhouse gas pollution goals.

That’s an especially good autocorrect…though the vision of Sisolak in robes with a scepter on a chariot is especially vomit inducing.

You have to pay a lot to get people to put up with the Bidens and Harris?

Let us know when they turn off the lights of the (remaining) casinos.

Off topic but sometime back in the 60's I saw casino security shoot a man.

He came running out the back alley door of Harold's club practically knocking me and my friend over, headed towards the tracks and after several warnings they shot (actually dropped) him as he was going over a short chain link fence along the tracks.

It sounds funny but those were the good days when you didn't mess around in Nevada and especially the casinos.

You always felt safe around the casinos back then.
