哈利·雷德本周结束了对中国这个正在崛起的亚洲大国为期九天的访问，回国后，他说,"不要让中国赢走清洁能源的未来。"
作为参议员多数党领袖，哈利·雷德与其他九名立法者率纳税人支持的代表团访问了亚洲。据美联社报道，雷德声称，“这次访问明白无误地给美国敲响了警钟，美国需要非常努力以使自己与世界其他国家相竞争，尤其是在制造业与能源方面。”
据联合通讯社报道，在与雷德参议员周三的电话采访中，雷德说，他在拉斯维加斯和内华达州的其他高速发展地区能看到许多建筑起重机，他曾为此感到骄傲。但是现在，中国有许多组起重机，其中一组就有26台。
在周二的一个声明中，雷德说，"中国对清洁能源投资如此之多并不只是因为这对环境有好处，中国这么做是因为这对经济有好处。中国清楚清洁能源能创造就业机会，并且能降低国家对石油的依赖性以保证国家安全。"
雷德办公室表示，他们这个由7个民主党成员和3个共和党成员组成的代表团受到了副主席习近平的接待，其被广泛认为是中国下一届的领导人。同时，这个代表团也与中国外交部长、副总理和央行行长举行了会谈。代表团还参观了成都的可再生能源工厂，这个城市拥有一千四百万的人口，是中国在新能源领域的领头军。
联合通讯社报道，雷德说，他见了许多中国公司的老板，包括A-能源发电系统有限公司。这个公司目前也与许多美国公司进行合作，准备在拉斯维加斯地区建设一个风力发电机组制造厂，此工厂大概能解决1000人的就业问题。
雷德周三暗示说，中国对内华达州可再生能源的进一步投资合作协议将很快完成。
雷德拒绝谈论有关细节，但提到美国NV能源公司参与了此次合作谈判。他表示，由于关于土地与其他内容的谈判仍在继续，他被要求保持沉默。
据拉斯维加斯某媒体报道，雷德说，“此次中国之行，我碰到了两个重要的非常有利的并有可能对内华达州投资的项目，其中一个也许会成为迄今我们所获得的最大的投资项目。”

Don't let China win the future on clean energy, Harry Reid said after his return this week from a nine-day trip to the rising Asian power.
The Senate majority leader, who took the taxpayer-funded delegation to Asia with nine other lawmakers, said the journey served as "an unmistakable reminder just how hard we have to work to make America competitive with the rest of the world," particularly on manufacturing and energy, according to The Associated Press.
Reid said he used to be proud that he could see dozens of construction cranes in Las Vegas and other fast-growing areas in Nevada. But now, he said, in China "they have 26 cranes in one block. And they have block after block of cranes," the AP reported following a conference call with the senator Wednesday.
In a statement Tuesday, Reid had said that “China isn't investing so heavily in clean energy just because it's good for the environment — it’s doing so because it's good for the economy. China knows clean energy creates jobs and, in reducing its reliance on oil, makes it more secure.”
The delegation of seven Democrats and three Republicans met with Vice President Xi Jinping, widely touted as China's next leader, as well as China's foreign minister, vice premier and central bank president. The group also toured renewable energy plants in Chengdu, a city of 14 million seen as a leader in that field, Reid's office said.
Reid said he met with leaders of several Chinese companies, including A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd., which is working with several U.S. partners to build a wind turbine manufacturing plant in the Las Vegas area that could employ about 1,000 people, the AP said.
Reid hinted on Wednesday that deals are close to being completed for further Chinese investments in Nevada renewable energy ventures.
Reid declined to discuss details, other than mentioning that NV Energy was involved in the talks. He said he was asked to remain silent as negotiations continue for land and other components.
But he said that on his China trip he met with two "major possible investments in Nevada that are very, very favorable. One of them would be the biggest we've had, period," according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The delegation included Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois, Chuck Schumer of New York, Barbara Boxer of California, Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Michael Bennet of Colorado, and Republican Sens. Richard Shelby of Alabama, Johnny Isakson of Georgia and Mike Enzi of Wyoming. The senators returned home Monday night. |
