Dear FLEAA, Many of us either do, or intend to, power our electric vehicles with solar energy. The current federal tax credits expire in June 2008. The current energy bill does not renew Solar Tax Credit for residents. Therefore, we request that folks help contact their Senators and request the Solar Investment Tax Credit be part of the current energy bill.
SEIA Alert 11/9/2007: Call Now to Keep the Solar Tax Credits in the Energy Bill!! Dear SEIA Members, Senate and House Democratic Leaders are now considering a plan to leave renewable energy out of the Energy Bill. There are widespread reports that a decision has been made, at least provisionally, to move energy legislation without a tax title that extends the Solar Investment Tax Credits (ITC). Together, we can reverse this decision! Please call your Representative and both Senators and ask them to urge House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) to keep the ITC extension in the Energy Bill. The Energy Bill is expected to be voted on at the end of next week. A bill without the solar ITC provisions would be a tremendous lost opportunity for our industry and our country. To locate your Representative and Senators’ Washington phone number, go to http://www.congress.org/congressorg/directory/congdir.tt and type in your company’s Zip Code. Alternatively, you can reach your Representative and Sena tors’ offices through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-225-3121. Talking Points: · I work for
(name of company) in your district (describe
the company) · The solar tax credits would decrease energy costs, increase energy independence, and create more jobs in your district · We need you to speak to Senator Reid / Speaker Pelosi and tell them how important it is to your constituents to keep solar tax credits in the energy bill. What the Solar Industry Needs · Eight-year
extension of the 30% business ITC under Section 48
