2007 Energy Bill without solar incentives? [RE-wrenches]

[Joel Davidson]

<x-flowed>

Jim, Here's Sue Kateley's (CalSEIA Exec. Director) email.

MAKE THE CONGRESSIONAL SWITCHBOARD CRASH!

Congressional leaders are considering moving an energy bill with NO 
extension of the renewable energy tax incentives.  Senator Reid and Speaker 
Pelosi met today and decided not to include critical tax credits for wind 
and solar in the federal energy package, and to drop the federal Renewable 
Portfolio Standard.

We have about 24 hours to turn this around.

Call your representative and tell them to pass a message to Senator Reid and 
Speaker Pelosi.

Use your own words - here are some suggested points:

The energy bill must extend investment tax credits for solar and production 
tax credits for wind.
Clean energy means jobs and energy independence.
America needs carbon-free renewable energy, now.
Our future depends on their leadership.

It's hard to believe that with oil hovering at $100/barrel and the passage 
of the Governor's Solar Initiative just over a year ago, that we are looking 
at a Congress that is thinking of doing nothing to extend the solar tax 
credits.
