President Obama confirms Reno as clean energy hub

May 8, 2011 by Dave Archer

It’s special when a sitting president comes to Nevada, but especially satisfying when he comes to validate what many Nevada energy business leaders and politicians have beenPresident Obama at ElectraTherm in Reno saying all along.  And what Senator Harry Reid meant when he coined Nevada as the Saudi Arabia of Renewable Energy.  President Obama recently held a town hall meeting April 21 at Reno’s young waste heat to power energy company, ElectraTherm.  Of course, the selection of Reno was partly political now that he has announced for 2012, but his visit does something even more important.  By selecting a clean energy company like ElectraTherm for the town hall meeting, it says the White House recognizes Nevada’s contribution to their national clean energy plan.  It also showcases the variety of ways moving away from fossil fuels can be achieved.  President Obama congratulated ElectraTherm, saying, "…every industry is generating some sort of heat; it’s going up in smoke stacks and nobody is using it.  The question is can we capture that energy in a smart way?  That’s what ElectraTherm is all about."  Read full story:
