Reid brings in $57 million in 'green' jobs for Nevada
Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 20:03 I’ve been waiting for the end of the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository for a long time now, and apparently the time is now thanks to Senator Harry Reid. Yucca Mountain was a money pit and boondoggle of the first magnitude, taking lot while giving Nevada nothing in the way of sustainable job growth in return.
I hate to harp on this sort of thing, but Senator Reid is bringing home the bacon while cutting out the pork (ha!) for Nevadans, despite the biggest national economic disaster in recent history. For this reason alone, I can’t understand why his numbers are so far down around the state.
Aren’t folks paying attention, or are they just that caught up in party politics?
Here’s a guy who isn’t totally beholden to special interests, is as ethical as politicians come, treats rural and urban/north and south with equal concern, and there are still those out there who would replace him with some well meaning but very wet behind the ears junior senator.
And, they would take the chance of replacing Reid while Nevada’s economy running on fumes?
WTF?
Take a look at what Senator Reid has delivered to Nevada in projects as part of the Energy and Water Appropriations conference report. The goal here is to make Nevada a national leader in renewable energy jobs and projects :
Energy Projects - $19.25 million
