U.S. Interior Secretary Touts Giant Gila Bend Solar Plant’s Economic Impact

While touring a solar power generating station that will provide power to tens of thousands of Arizona homes, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Wednesday that America’s embrace of renewable energy will create jobs and boost the economy.

 

“This is the kind of thing that could bring about a huge revolution in energy for the United States of America,” Salazar said after a tour of the Solana Generating Station, which is under construction and expected to be completed in 2013.
