You might think today will be a great day for Nevada as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid hosts a National Clean Energy Summit here with high-profile guests (Bill Clinton, Al Gore and T. Boone Pickens) and local pols and business folks in attendance. But it is a sad day because Reid snubbed the state’s great leader on renewable energy, aka The Man Formerly Known as Governor, aka Jim Gibbons, aka Ø. Gibbons has long been a backer of renewable energy — by “long,” I mean the past few months or so. Who can forget his first State of the State speech as governor when he proposed a coal liquefaction plant? Who can forget Gibbons attacking Reid for being against those rural coal plants? How could Reid not have invited him?
