Soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid sat in on a #SolarChat today to promote building a “clean energy economy” (and you know what that means). Reid took questions from “friendlies”:
So, the 3 people @SenatorReid "chatted" w/ were a "green" battery co, Nat Mngr for OFA, & a CA Dem Environmentalist. Ok. Good talk.

Reid didn’t take many questions, but in a short time he did manage to get in a predictable dig at the Koch brothers:

A1: Kochs have declared war on clean energy. Let's protect incentives that make clean competitive with dirty subsidized fuels. #SolarChat
— Senator Harry Reid (@SenatorReid) November 12, 2014
Solar power is booming. Last year 40% of electricity installed was from renewables. We now have over 400k solar installations. #SolarChat
— Senator Harry Reid (@SenatorReid) November 12, 2014
A2: If you have solar on your home or you might want solar, tell your reps to stand up for clean energy. #SolarChat

The historic announcement by US and China is great for solar bc it will advance our clean energy efforts around the world. #SolarChat

More solar panels have been installed over the last year and a half than in the entire history of our country. #SolarChat

If you doubt solar plants can generate electricity at night, take a look at this project near Tonopah, NV http://t.co/mzdHgOoRQS #SolarChat

I was pleased to read this article recently in Bloomberg that shows the solar progress being made. http://t.co/REpPkOP5KI #SolarChat

Drive from Las Vegas to my hometown Searchlight and you'll see 4 million solar panels—our clean energy economy at work! #SolarChat

Congress must continue clean energy incentives, or scales will tip in favor of dirty sources that have permanent subsidies. #SolarChat

I need to run. Thanks for inviting me to join #solarchat. Don't lose hope. Progress is being made and we'll keep fighting for more.

Senator, we don’t know how to break it to you, but…
@SenatorReid You can take a seat on the back-bench. "We won".

@SenatorReid You lost.

@SenatorReid You're still rambling on? You lost. Dems lost. We made our choice here. But at least you didn't mention KOCH bros here.

Nice try attempt at a Solyndra reboot though, Harry.
There are some questions that Reid will never answer honestly:
.@SenatorReid would you allow a family member to be treated in a hospital only powered by solar panels?
— Phelim McAleer (@PhelimMcAleer) November 12, 2014
@SenatorReid Just curious, but is your computer hooked up to solar power? #SolarChat
— DAMMIT WALTER (@Bravo24Actual) November 12, 2014
@SenatorReid has a solar plant EVER been denied a permit due to an environmental impact study?
— Brian Edwards (@BEdwards85) November 12, 2014
@SenatorReid how is Solyndra doing these days ?
