The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agreed on Tuesday, June 26, 2018, to consider Endangered Species Act protection for the toad that only recently was discovered in northern Nevada's high desert where one of the biggest producers of geothermal energy in the nation wants to build another power plant.
