Rural Nevada has become the latest front in the battle against climate change. While renewable energy development is often well-intentioned, it can often get mired in difficulty and controversy. The complex nature of meeting ambitious climate goals and responsibly developing renewable energy in rural communities is described in this report published for the Sierra Nevada Ally.
As subject matter experts on this topic, I interviewed the following individuals:
Kevin Emmerich, co-founder of Basin and Range Watch
Laura Cunningham, California Director of Western Watersheds Project and co-founder of Basin and Range Watch
Lucas Ingvoldstad, State Director of Nevada for USDA Rural Development
My name is Scott King and I grew up on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio. I graduated from Capital University in Columbus, Ohio with a degree in Professional Writing and a minor in Marketing. Upon graduation, I joined the Peace Corps to teach literacy in the Eastern Caribbean where I lived in my host-community of Gouyave, Grenada from May 2017-July 2019. I have additional international volunteer experience in both Quito, Ecuador and Cape Town, South Africa prior to my Peace Corps service. I started this blog to tell the story of my Peace Corps experience while serving in the Eastern Caribbean.
I completed my Master's degree in Media Innovation from the University of Nevada, Reno, in December 2020.
I now live and work as a multimedia specialist in Arlington, Virginia.
Thanks for following and enjoy!
