Hillary Clinton campaigned in Omaha late Monday afternoon, vowing to push for an upgrade to the nation’s electrical grid if she’s elected president — to better distribute the power generated by wind turbines.

 

Clinton says the wind industry is part of a “diverse economic development” strategy that keeps small town America going.

 

Clinton is calling for more federal investment in the nation’s aging infrastructure, like electric transmission lines, as well as bridges, roads and water treatment systems. Clinton spoke to a crowd at Omaha North High School late Monday afternoon, then attended a private fundraiser. It was held at the home of Susie Buffett, the daughter of investment guru Warren Buffet.
