"CHICAGO — Combating climate change with investment in renewable power is a main part of Hillary Clinton's economic platform, the campaign's political director said yesterday.

"When you think about her economic message, this is one of the key drivers to that, so it's one of the four pillars or five pillars that she's talked about," Amanda Renteria said.

"What we've seen across the board and as she's traveled in Iowa and Pennsylvania is you have wind turbines, you have this opportunity in manufacturing in clean energy. That's why it's a big deal. At the end of the day, it's going to lead to more jobs."  "
