Harry Reid Pushes for Power Agreement for Solar Company His Son Represents
Chinese company lured to Nevada; now Reid wants to make sure the state signs agreement
A solar company project that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid successfully lured to Clark County, Nev. – where his son Rory was a former commissioner and now lobbies on behalf of the Chinese company that owns it – now wants the dominant utility in the state to buy its electricity.
So does Senator Reid, who is frustrated because every component to make ENN Energy Group move forward with the project is in place except for NV Energy, the state utility, to enter an agreement to buy the electricity. For the most part wind and solar farms don't get built unless there is assurance that utilities will accept their power.
