National Clean Energy Summit 3.0: Investing in American Jobs occurs at a critical time when we must accelerate investments in the clean energy economy. These investments will create American jobs, advance energy independence, and ensure long-term, sustainable prosperity for Nevada, the nation, and the world.

This year’s summit will advance the conversation about attracting much needed financing for new clean energy companies that are ready to put their technologies to work creating jobs today. By bringing together industry experts, clean energy visionaries, investors and public officials, NCES 3.0 will identify measures to support investments in the ideas and infrastructure essential to producing and selling clean energy technologies and services. This summit will emphasize steps to further transform Nevada into a thriving clean energy hub, which fosters long-term job creation and economic growth.

Nevada is at the center of the movement to generate clean energy. We have abundant solar, wind, and geothermal energy resources to power our nation’s economy. Nevada also is a leader in deploying energy efficiency technologies that reduce energy demand, create jobs, and save consumers money. Since 2008, these dynamic Summits have become one of the country’s most visible and influential gatherings of leaders and top policymakers helping to bring about the transformation to a clean energy economy.

Just as America should lead the world in the clean energy revolution, Nevada can lead the nation with its ample resources and ambitious innovators, creating a robust clean energy market. National Clean Energy Summit 3.0: Investing in American Jobs will build on this vision for the future, redefining what it means to be a strong America.
