Hi Everyone,
Here is a Networking Event that may be of interest. http://www.pbgreendrinks.com/ it might also be a way to get the word out about www.floridaeaa.org <http://www.floridaeaa.org/> . Brian _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allan Miller Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 8:45 PM To: Fleaa Subject: [FLEAA] [Fwd: [Fwd: Solar Tax Credit is in jeopardy - Please help]] 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. Martinez, Mel <http://martinez.senate.gov> - (R - FL) Class III 356 RUSSELL SENATE OFFICE BUILDING WASHINGTON DC 20510 (202) 224-3041 Web Form: martinez.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=ContactIn... <http://martinez.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=ContactInformation.C ontactForm> Nelson, Bill <http://billnelson.senate.gov/> - (D - FL) Class I 716 HART SENATE OFFICE BUILDING WASHINGTON DC 20510 (202) 224-5274 Web Form: billnelson.senate.gov/contact/email.cfm 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> 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 investment tax credits are critical to our company's business and must be part of the energy bill this year! * 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 * Six-year extension of the 30% residential ITC under Section 25D * Elimination of the existing $2,000 limit on the 30% residential solar ITC under Section 25D * Permit corporate and individual taxpayers to claim the ITC against the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) * Elimination of the public utility exception to the ITC.
