Nevada energy regulators won't pause a controversial rate hike for rooftop solar customers, in spite of hours of pleas from hundreds of solar energy users, a supportive tweet from presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders and even a cameo from a movie star. The Nevada Public Utility Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to reject requests to put a stay on new rates that took effect Jan. 1, after shooting down some of the arguments that were made during about six hours of emotional and sometimes rowdy testimony.
