Nevada To Host Third Annual Clean Energy Summit

By Linn Grubbstrom - Talk Radio News Service

Nevada will host the third annual National Clean Energy Summit on September 7th.

“The theme of this year’s summit will focus on the number one issue in Nevada and around the country: investing in American jobs,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who along with the University of Las Vegas and the Center for American Progress sponsors the summit, during a conference call Wednesday.

“Nevada is a perfect place to hold this important national discussion,” Reid said. “We’re leading the way in creating jobs and capitalizing on … fast, clean energy resources.” 

The summits take place each year in Nevada, and according to Reid, progress has been made since it began just two years ago.

“We’ve [made] some big announcements. We’re building a transmission line between northern and southern Nevada which will allow us to be energy independent,” said Reid.
