That larger war has some lawmakers drafting a plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions, others pushing for more nuclear power, and still more looking for developments in "clean coal" production.
Reid said that he hoped the two countries could come together and be world leaders in clean energy innovation, manufacturing and production.
FORBES: China Taking Lead Ahead of US on Clean Energy, Sen. Reid Says
By re-thinking how the federal government can foster innovation and competitiveness in clean energy, from education and research to commercialization and production, the United States can once again become a global leader in clean energy technology.
While the United States was once a pioneer in developing and commercializing clean energy technologies, from solar cells to nuclear power, we now lag behind our competitors in Asia and Europe in the production of virtually all clean technologies.
