And on the Texan front
LAS VEGAS, March 11 (UPI) — Two U.S. firms and one from China said Thursday they planned to build a 320,000-square-foot wind turbine manufacturing plant in Nevada.
U.S. Renewable Energy Group, a private equity firm, along with A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd of Shenyang, Liaoning province, China, said they were working with American Nevada Co., a real estate development firm, to chose a site for the plant that would provide 1,000 manufacturing jobs, the Las Vegas Sun reported.
Bruce Deifik, president The Greenspan Corp., parent of American Nevada, said the companies were scouting the Las Vegas Valley for up to 1,000 acres of property to build a wind turbine plant.
In a statement, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of A-Power Jinxiang Lu credited Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and “Nevada’s position relative to the major wind corridors,” as the reason the firms chose to locate the plant in Nevada.
