Multiple media reports indicate that this standoff in Nevada is occurring so that a Chinese energy firm can build a solar energy farm on public lands. If these reports are true, it's outrageous.
Rory Reid, the eldest son of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), is the chief representative for a Chinese energy firm planning to build a $5-billion solar plant on public land in Laughlin, Nevada. ENN Energy Group, a clean-energy firm that manufactures a range of renewable-energy products, is seeking to construct its solar panel facility on a 9,000-acre stretch of land on a Clark County desert plot.
The controversy stems from the fact that Clark County officials voted to sell ENN the public land for $4.5 million, a figure startlingly below the $38.6-million appraisal. Conveniently, Sen. Reid has been one of ENN’s most prominent supporters, having helped mobilize the firm during a 2011 trip to China. Reid’s influence in the Chinese company has been so compelling that, according to Reuters, last month he tried to “pressure Nevada’s largest power company, NV Energy, to sign up as ENN’s first customer.”
Both Rory and his father have since denied having ever discussed the $5-billion deal. A spokeswoman for Sen. Reid, Kristen Orthman, insisted that he’d never deliberated over the project with his son. Rory Reid added, “I have never discussed the project with my father or his staff.”
When a crime occurs you call the police. Same with congress. You call on another branch of government. When there is nobody to call……..the result is armed citizens. Very sad that it has come down to this. Very sad. Say a prayer for the United States.
ReplyDeleteHarry Reid is simply accommodating his Masters.
ReplyDeleteHARR REID WAS THE FRONT MAN FOR THE MOB IN VEGAS FOR YEARS,EVERYONE KNEW IT INCLUDING THE FEDS BUT THEY NEVER TOUCHED HIM,GO FIGURE
ReplyDeleteHarry Reid and his son apparently love China. Or they simply love money and don't mind selling out an all American Family to get it. Or maybe they love China AND money. Can you imagine if Chris Christie had a son who made deals with the Commie Chinese to take land from a NJ citizen ? Google Sarah Palin email drop...you will read an article from the LA Times (liberal flagship if there ever was one). They mention that over 30 reporters and cameras all descended on Alaska to get and sift through Palins emails to try and FIND some dirt on her...AFTER she had resigned office and AFTER she had lost the 2008 election. She wasn't even an elected official. I can bet that there will be ZERO scrutiny of Reid and any evidence that he helped his son out and is up to his neck in this crap.
ReplyDeleteHarry Reid used to frequent Fredo Corleone's brothel outside Vegas until that one scene in the Godfather 2.
ReplyDeleteIn the words of Corleone family counsel Tom Hagen, "no one will know, she had no family"
Why the controversy? Because some people are indulging their John Wayne fantasy. The man was doing his business on land that he didn't own. No one else would be allowed to do this, why should he? Case closed.
