It appears as if the solar tax credit may not be doomed, after all. The Wall Street Journal reports that a bi-partisan effort is underway to push the credit in as part of a wider suite of legislation.
This credit is crucial to nurturing the solar industry and allowing it to strengthen and expand itself enough to reach a competitive balance with established carbon-based energy sources. It has also, dishearteningly, not received the care and attention it needs from Congressional leaders. If this push succeeds it would be a great indication that energy policy and priorities in America may not be hopeless heading further into the century.
CQ Politics also has a choice energy quote that deserves mention. Montana Democrat Max Baucus noted that “Here we are again. I’m starting to feel like Don Quixote, except I’m not jousting at windmills. I’m jousting for windmills.”
And for solar too, Senator, and thank you for that.
