Today in Lake Tahoe☀️

@GoldenKnights Removing Grass/mature trees worsens Vegas' growing #urbanheatisland effect, already US worst metro. This harms health, environment & quality of life in #LasVegas. Water taken from established communities to new developments isn't "conservation." Please don't echo chamber for $

Gary Lawless is a big fan of water conservation now that temperatures are rising, and you can too by replacing your grass with turf with @SNWA_H2O 😄👍 #VegasBorn

California golden poppies as far as the eye can see

The largest data center in the entire state of Illinois is being planned right now It will be massive, spanning 800 acres of mostly farmland It will use 150,000 gallons of water every day. That’s 55 million gallons of water per year So many Illinois residents showed up to their city council meeting to oppose it they had to put out extra chairs in multiple rooms

10,000 ft jump with zero fear

@reviewjournal @StavrosAnthony @JoeLombardoNV Build water pipes next to existing fuel pipelines coming from CA, ship sea water & desalinate in NV desert w/plant powered by solar. This would create good NV jobs, a pathway to water future & eventually even export potable water to other states.

Lake Mead is headed for an even more concerning, record-low level near the end of 2027, according to projections recently released from federal forecasters. STORY: lvrj.com/post/3724841

No judgment. No conditions. Just loyalty.

🌳 Forest coverage by U.S. state.

@reviewjournal Different talking points to one group (investors) versus locals. Got plenty of water for development/investment, but got no water for people who live here already. Seen this movie before.

@KTNV @GenevaZoltek @GenevaZoltek Nice job interviewing locals. Mature tree coverage is critical in LV's growing #urbanheatisland. Simply use #infraredthermometer in comparing grass, tree coverage, rocks & pavement. A massive temp. difference. Its all about future quality of life v. profiteering.

Our @GenevaZoltek continues to follow the issue of SNWA's turf removal program, the lawsuit against it, and how it's affecting Las Vegas locals ktnv.com/news/locals-ta…

This watercolour of Catalina Island by Swedish/American artist Gunnar Widforss ~ a detailed study of colour, light and shadow ~ looks as fresh here as it did when it was painted just over 100 years ago (1921)

@reviewjournal Not your fault Alan but orchestrated water scarcity scare stories fall flat as #LasVegans see massive development all around them plus data centers. 177 countries #desalinate but its "too expensive" here. Let's get a plan to get more water & build a decent quality of life too.

Lake Mead is headed for an even more concerning, record-low level near the end of 2027, according to projections from federal forecasters released Friday. READ MORE: lvrj.com/post/3724841

A nice sunset in Point Reyes tonight.

Bison roam the open field, feeding on a variety of plants that sustain them through the seasons

Zuzu had A LOT to say today on @News3LV! This affectionate 12-year-old gentleman is looking for his new home. Could it be yours? Find out why he's so awesome and what he had to say during his Timeless Tails segment: bit.ly/4uqbmQm

It’s always tough to fight the traffic monster in Sedona but on this day, the parking gods blessed me with an opportunity to scramble up Summit Trail to catch some bolts dropping behind Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte.

@reviewjournal @nevada_puc @AaronDFordNV @SenCortezMasto @RepSusieLee @RepHorsford please help everyday #Nevadans from this monopoly's "demand charge" push.

@reviewjournal @nevada_puc @AaronDFordNV NVE's "demand charge" will harm most those at home during the hottest part of day: the elderly, retired, stay at home moms, kids, disabled, sick, small businesses, shift workers. A/C is not perk in #LasVegas summer, its NEEDED FOR SURVIVAL. Pls stop.

NV Energy will become the first investor-owned utility to impose a mandatory demand charge on residential and small commercial customers. DETAILS: lvrj.com/post/3723581

The meadows may be out of snow… but the views are amazing

@itsme_urstruly @LasVegasLocally @FlamingoVegas how most visitors feel about wildlife

The next 7 generations of this crow's family will reward this woman.
