Letter: Student concerned about planet, air pollution

My name is Jeremiah Bautista I have been studying energy resources in my science class. I am writing because Nevada uses mainly coal, gasoline, and natural gas for energy sources. The burning of coal, gasoline, and natural gas (as heating and cooking source) and the other two to produce energy causes air pollution emissions, which in turn harms plants, animals, and causes many diseases in humans. Also, these resources are not “native” to Nevada. Natural gas, for example, has to be transported by pipes from Arizona, New Mexico and Wyoming. The same goes for coal; there are no coal mines in our state – again, it has to be carried in trains from Wyoming and Utah. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Nevada uses natural gas the most—over 250 trillion Btu’s approximately in 2014. I feel that we can do better as a state by encouraging others to utilize other types of energy. As a state, we use these resources like other places and these resources cause a lot of damage to the planet.

Letter: Affordable health care is achievable

With the rising cost of medical insurance and health care, we know that many Americans are struggling.
