Congress may pass the renewable energy bill! |
|
Washington, DC - For more than a year, Congress has attempted to pass a bill to extend incentives for energy efficiency and renewable energy like solar but members have been unable to agree on how to pay for the bill.
Baucus stated, “This bill will create jobs, jump-start alternative energy, and ease financial burdens for American families, and Congress needs to act on it now. With gasoline over four dollars a gallon and a lot of folks needing work, there’s a big need for this tax relief right away.”

On July 23, 51 governors (all except Georgia) signed a letter to Congressional leadership calling for a long-term extension of the renewable energy tax credits, including solar. The governors cited the important role renewable energy plays in our nation’s energy security and tax incentives will promote a clean, secure, and affordable energy to fuel America’s future. |
