Using federal stimulus money, Horsford said his bill, SB 152, could help train 3,200 workers at a cost of $3,500 each. There’s also enough stimulus money to weatherize 6,550 low-income homes – more than five times the number weatherized in 2008.
Nevada’s future is in capturing our renewable energy resources and making our buildings more energy efficient.
