In August of 2008, I convened the first National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas. Many important recommendations were made at the this groundbreaking Summit, including President Clinton’s challenge to Nevada to become a national leader by putting our vast renewable energy resources to work and achieving energy independence. Because I share that vision, I created a Blue Ribbon Panel that focuses on the steps we must take to move Nevada toward a clean energy future.

The Blue Ribbon Panel is comprised of policymakers, experts, industry leaders, representatives of both business and labor, Democrats and Republicans who are all committed to charting a course to energy independence and creating jobs and sustainable economic growth for Nevada.

If you would like to submit information to the Blue Ribbon Panel, please contact my Las Vegas office at (702) 388-5020.
