When I lived in Las Vegas the sample ballot mailed to voters always included a very detailed point-counterpoint-rebuttal on all the ballot issues.

Also I used to look for union endorsements when unsure. I just did a quick google on Question 3. The AFL-CIO and also the Nevada Teachers Union oppose it, while Clark County Teachers Union favors it.

No one bothered to be "for" or "against" it in 2016. The ballot measure on the ballot itself is not considered, people read the general overview.

That's why there's a concerted effort to shut it down.

Frankly I don't listen to people outside of the state.

And frankly NV energy's treatment of solar power, basically punishing people who spent thousands to put in a system, is not to be rewarded.

Sheldon Adelson put millions into pushing its passing, which sets off immediate alarm bells. All told, about 15 mill or so is being spent on fighting for and against this thing. That would pay for a lot of electricity.

Bottom line looks like the casinos and bigger whorehouses can set up their own electric "companies" which leaves the little guys paying for the existing infrastructure-- like generation and transmission lines. The usual end of that sort of thing is that the little guys rates go up. Often way up.

It's nice that it allows homeowners and tiny businesses to put up their own rooftop solar and sell it back, but that involves a significant investment that it's impossible to calculate at this time. And there is no guarantee that things will stay that way. Also no guarantee that you won't get stuck with the infrastructure bills, making that investment even more expensive.

If it was me, from what I see, I'd be a big NO.

NV Energy should not be solely responsible for electricity production and with complete control over solar power metering. With Tesla power walls (or alternatives) and solar panels you should be able to, in Nevada, power your house 80-90%.

But NV energy in 2015, with defacto control over solar panel metering, reduced the rewards you returned to the grid 2/3rds and tripled the charges that solar panel users paid. It was absolutely insane and it arguably killed the solar industry in Nevada.

It's a bizarre measure because you have the left and right on both sides of the issues, but I think a lot of them are special interests who are simply using the issue to bundle and raise funds. To argue, for example, it would hurt the environment is asinine.

Nevada has a lot of sun, and I mean a lot. Most of NV's energy is produced out of state. NV energy is more of a delivery company than it is a production company. Almost all of NV's locally produced energy is solar, geothermal, or hydropower.
