As wildfires burn in California and communities recover from massive hurricanes, environmental leaders opened the ninth annual National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas.
“You all know about us as being the entertainment capital of the world, but we’re also an international trailblazer in clean and renewable energy,” Sandoval said.
Reid, a Democrat, called Sandoval a “good Republican” and said the governor was always willing to listen.
Reid said he likes to drive by an array of 4 million solar panels on the way to Searchlight.
Since 2011, private investments in clean energy have skyrocketed, he said.
“We have invested $734 million in incentives,” Sandoval said.
Gore said carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels is the heart of the problem, along with other factors, in warming the world and melting glaciers.
