Sen. Salazar Lauds Vestas' Expansion of Colorado Wind Operations

 

DENVER, CO – United States Senator Ken Salazar released the following statement in response to Denmark-based Vestas Wind Systems’ decision to build a new wind turbine manufacturing facility in Brighton, Colorado.

“Colorado is at the forefront of our nation’s renewable energy revolution, and companies like Vestas are helping us lead the charge. This expansion will bring with it new jobs, new energy and new, exciting opportunities for economic growth. And it proves that our clean energy investments – both at the state and federal level – are paying off. I look forward to continuing the productive partnership we have forged with the good people of Vestas in the months and years ahead.”
