Washington, D.C. – Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement today following the release of an independent report on the Department of Energy's Loan Guarantee program:

“Clean energy jobs are critical to rebuilding our economy and powering America's future growth opportunities.  I am encouraged that this independent evaluation shows that the Obama administration's investments are helping the private sector create thousands of good paying, clean  energy jobs in Nevada and across the country.  This should be an area where Democrats and Republicans can agree, and I hope Republicans will work with us to help create more clean energy jobs, reduce our dependence on foreign oil and make our country stronger and more competitive.”
