CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) - Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has signed an executive order establishing the state’s energy priorities.

He says his executive order develops and maintains a diverse energy supply and a balanced energy approach to electric and natural gas energy supply and transportation fuels.

Under his executive order, Nevada’s energy portfolio would include solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, natural gas, hydrogen, energy storage, and other resources.
