CLEAN ENERGY SECTOR SAVED IN OBAMA’S TAX DEAL

UPDATE ON OBAMA TAX COMPROMISE:

Many missed a key component of Obama’s tax cut compromise:  It included the extension of very important energy tax credits for wind and solar projects that were expected to expire at the end of the year.  AND tens of thousands of American jobs in the renewable energy sector were saved — for another year anyway.

Wind farms and solar projects will get the go-ahead on a fast track in this promising new economic sector for American jobs — jobs that can’t be outsourced.  According to the New York Times Denise Bode from the American Wind Energy Association said that this deal is, “a great holiday present for the 85,000 American workers in the wind energy industry, tens of thousands of whom will now be able to get back to work.”
