June 26, 2012

Are you interested in clean energy?  Creating jobs?  Strengthening Nevada’s economy?  Achieving energy independence?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need to come to the fifth annual National Clean Energy Summit!

I invite you to join clean energy visionaries, leaders, public officials, business executives, entrepreneurs, investors, students, the media, and citizens like you to focus on America’s clean energy future with the convening of the National Clean Energy Summit 5.0: The Power of Choice to be held on Tuesday, August 7, 2012, at Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.  I am pleased to be cohosting this day long event with the Center for American Progress, the Clean Energy Project, MGM Resorts International, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

National Clean Energy Summit 5.0: The Power of Choice will focus on empowering individuals, governments, and businesses with the ability to choose clean energy.  The conference will highlight energy options and how the freedom to make clean energy choices can improve the quality of life, save consumers money, and grow the economy.  The more the public, business, and government understand the immense benefits of clean energy, the more likely they are to support and adopt policies to bring that future here sooner.

There has never been a more important time for Nevada and the nation to better enable investment in clean energy.  Bringing clean energy options in-line with a smarter electricity grid, while increasing the amount of solar, wind, and geothermal energy from projects in Nevada and the West, can give power to new industries and markets that will also simultaneously create new jobs and help rebuild our economy.

I look forward to joining notable speakers such as Former President Bill Clinton, Center for American Progress Chair and Counselor John Podesta, MGM Resorts International Chairman and CEO Jim Murren, United Steelworkers International President Leo Gerard, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chairman Jon Wellinghoff, and American Wind Energy Association CEO Denise Bode.

Sincerely,

HARRY REID
U.S. Senator for Nevada
