The Hoover Dam is a lifeline to rural communities throughout the American Southwest. More than 1 million people in Nevada, Arizona and California rely on the clean energy that the dam produces. Public power utilities — that are not-for-profit community-owned — such as our organizations depend on the Hoover Dam to bring affordable and reliable energy to our rural Nevada communities.

For over two years, OPEC and its partners from Central Asia, led by Russia, tried to push oil prices higher by withholding oil supply. Some did it more successfully than others. Saudi Arabia especially excelled at curbing supply—to no avail. Factors outside OPEC+'s control caused prices to slide lower and stay lower.

A clean energy developer is temporarily halting its proposed wind farm in southwest Minnesota, saying the Trump administration's tariffs are partly to blame. The decision has alarmed some clean energy advocates, who say President Donald Trump's ongoing trade war is making the already difficult process of connecting renewable energy projects to the electrical grid even harder.
