Clean energy is the future of Nevada
Las Vegas Sun, 8/28/11 - Nevada’s economy was hit particularly hard by the recession, and families across the state are still struggling to get back on their feet. We are making some progress but there is much left to be done.
Tourism is an essential component of the state’s economic vitality and will remain so in the foreseeable future. However, by relying so heavily on one industry that requires people across the country to have some extra money in their pockets to spend on vacation, our recovery is far too dependent on the progress of other states digging their way out of this downturn.
Although we must continue to protect our No. 1 industry, it’s equally important to diversify our economy to protect ourselves from future economic crises. And given Nevada’s abundant renewable resources such as wind, solar and geothermal energy, the clean energy industry is the ideal place to start.
We must ensure that Nevada becomes the nation’s clean energy jobs leader.
That is what the annual National Clean Energy Summit on Tuesday is all about. For the fourth year in a row, this forward-thinking event will bring together experts and executives, entrepreneurs and investors, and senior public officials from both political parties to talk about what the 21st-century clean energy economy can and should look like.
