Brown gets Obama’s view on clean-energy policies
The Columbus Dispatch – Sen. Sherrod Brown was one of a handful of senators picked to question President Barack Obama in a session the president held last week with Democratic senators.

"How do we — when we read these articles in the paper that China is just exploding in terms of wind-turbine manufacturing and solar-panel manufacturing — how do we rebuild our manufacturing sector with a manufacturing policy, combined with an energy policy, that gets us there?" Brown asked.
