Legislation has been introduced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to make it easier to update the grid to allow for more clean energy to come online. This is not the first piece of legislation Reid has offered, what is rare about this new bill is that it would actually require the President to designate renewable energy zones.
The force that coming behind this clean energy movement is amazing. If you want to see the leaders who are on pushing clean energy, I reccommed watching a video of a summit that was put on by the Center for American Progress.http://nationalcleanenergyproject.org/
Confirmed attendees included President William Jefferson Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), Representative Ed Markey (D-MA), energy executive T. Boone Pickens, Robert Kennedy Jr., and leaders from government, business, labor, and the non-profit communities.
