Position on Energy Independence
Energy Independence
Nevada’s growing population and the AI-driven data center boom are pushing the grid to its limits. Nevada cannot depend on California for power — we need reliable energy controlled and produced here.
The rate of growth in Nevada’s population is above the national average. We are also experiencing a data center construction boom to feed AI, with major facilities coming online that will add enormous new demand to our grid.
Nevada cannot be dependent on California for its energy supply. Their policies, their pricing decisions, and their grid reliability are not under Nevada control — yet Nevada families and businesses pay the price when those choices fall short.
We need energy that Nevada controls — produced here for the people who live here. As your Assemblywoman for Nevada Assembly District 12, I will support an all-of-the-above energy strategy that keeps the lights on, keeps rates affordable, and keeps Nevada’s economy growing.
These are the policy positions of Nancy "Nan" Roecker, Republican candidate for Nevada Assembly District 12 in 2026.
