谁来主导太阳能的未来？
——NV Energy 与太阳能安装公司的冲突本质解析 最近两年，拉斯维加斯多家太阳能公司陆续在社交媒体上公开批评 NV Energy 的电网接入审批“拖延、模糊、不透明”。有公司表示，客户等待并网批准的时间被一再拉长，甚至导致订单取消，影响经营。表面上是流程问题，背后却是权力与市场边界的争夺：谁来主导太阳能的未来？是公用事业主导的集中发电，还是个人用户与安装公司推动的分布式变革？ 在内华达州，尤其是拉斯维加斯，太阳能是一项理想的绿色能源。但你可能注意到，一个奇怪的现象：一边是居民安装太阳能的热情日益高涨，一边是 NV Energy 等公用事业公司对这股潮流显得并不热情，甚至反对提高居民卖电回电网的补贴。这到底是为什么？

无王者之地：一个抗议现场唤起的制度记忆
那是2025年6月14日，拉斯维加斯正值盛夏。在灼热的阳光下，约八千人聚集在市中心联邦法院前的街道上。他们手举“No Kings”的标语，不是为了支持任何一位候选人，而是为了提醒彼此：这片土地从不属于某一个强人，也不能滑向权力集中的深渊与制度的崩解。 “No Kings”这句口号早在美国建国初期就已响起。当时的人民刚刚摆脱君主统治，他们用最朴素的方式表达了对于集中权力的恐惧和对制度平衡的渴望。如今，当类似的警觉再次浮现，它并不是怀旧的重复，而是一种现实的呼唤。

清洁能源需要清晰良知：观察 NV Energy 与内华达环保联盟的分歧
文 / 内华达华人视角 内华达州正迅速崛起为美国清洁能源的领跑者。从“绿色通道”输电计划到与大型科技公司的合作，NV Energy 在推动全州向可再生能源转型中扮演着不可或缺的角色。而与此同时，内华达环保联盟（Nevada Conservation League, 简称 NCL）等民间环保组织则不断呼吁，在加速绿色转型的同时，也必须确保这一进程的公平与正义。 因此，当 NV Energy 提出将居民电费上调 9% 的计划，并遭到 NCL 强烈反对时，公众不禁疑惑：既然双方都支持清洁能源，为什么还会发生如此明显的分歧？
