Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.

Nevada Senator Harry Reid Thursday released the following statement that A-Power Energy Generation Systems plans to build a new wind turbine production and assembly plant in Silver State:

"The clean energy industry is the future of Nevada. It can create much-needed jobs in the short-term and will help diversify our state's economy in the long-term," Reid said. "This state-of-the-art facility will create more than 1,000 good-paying jobs for Nevadans who will build wind turbines for projects in North and South America. When combined with the news of the transmission line between northern and southern Nevada, and NV Energy's smart grid contract with the Department of Energy, it's clear that Nevada is embracing its role as the nation's clean energy leader."
