CARSON CITY, Nev.—A "green jobs" initiative sought by Nevada Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford was endorsed Friday by a key legislative committee.
The Senate Energy, Infrastructure and Transportation Committee voted unanimously for SB152, which would use federal stimulus funds to train about 3,200 people, fund weatherization of about 6,500 homes and upgrade government buildings and schools to make them more efficient.
The intent of SB152, now going to the Senate Finance Committee, is to reduce greenhouse emissions, lower energy costs and create workers for the renewable energy industry. |
