Organizers of the Burning Man counterculture celebration have become the latest plaintiffs challenging one of the growing number of "green energy" projects in the works in Nevada. Burning Man and four co-plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in federal court this week accusing the Bureau of Land Management of breaking environmental laws in approving Ormat Nevada's exploratory drilling in the Black Rock Desert north of Reno. Friends of Nevada Wilderness, Friends of Black Rock/High Rock Inc. and two local residents joined the suit. They say the agency's environmental review ignored potential harms that could come from a large-scale geothermal project.
A woman who has previously said Steven Tyler had a sexual relationship with her when she was a teenager is suing the Aerosmith frontman for sexual assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit was filed by Julia Misley on Tuesday under a 2019 California law that gave adult victims of childhood sexual assault a three-year window to file lawsuits related to prior assaults. The Associated Press does not name victims of sexual assault. But Misley has released a statement and says the lawsuit relates to her experiences with Tyler. He is listed as a "John Doe" in the lawsuit. His representatives did not immediately return requests for comment.
