By Andrea Domanick, Las Vegas Sun
U.S. Sen. Harry Reid on Friday praised Nevada’s role as a leader in renewable energy business development and called for bipartisan support toward continuing that progress in the future.
Speaking at a clean energy luncheon at the MGM Grand organized by the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance, Reid said he was proud of Nevada’s role in both developing renewable energy resources and attracting new businesses to the state.
“Las Vegas is becoming known as the best place in America for innovative businesses and renewable energy development,” Reid said, listing Tesla, Switch, Google, Apple and solar “hall of famers” SolarCity and SolarReserve among the companies that have chosen to do business in Nevada. “These companies are creating real jobs and putting Nevada on the map as a technology and renewable energy leader.”
