Jill Derby is releasing her energy plan on Wednesday

Jill Derby, the Democrat running to unseat Republican Congressman Dean Heller in Nevada's 2nd Congressional District, will be releasing her energy plan on Wednesday morning at the University of Reno's Renewable Energy Lab.

The Derby Energy Plan calls for an Apollo Project-style investment in 21st century renewable energy to end our dependence on foreign oil. It includes goals for safeguarding national security, developing a strong 21st century economy by creating jobs through renewable energy development, and reducing the threat of global warming.

Nevada, by the way, makes the highest per capita use of solar energy in the nation. Which just makes sense given the weather here. ;-)
