Support Solar Power
Observe Jan 16 and Shout Out for Solar Day!
Since the 1970’s I
have advocated solar power and worked with the Solar Lobby and other groups. I
help build solar homes and much more. Let’s
give the Sun a chance to give us greater energy. Support giving solar power its investment
tax credit (ITC) that expires in 2016.
We give it to coal and oil why not solar?
Today, the solar
industry employs 143,000 Americans and pumps more than $15 billion a year into
the U.S. economy. This amazing growth is due, in large part, to smart
and effective public policies, such as the ITC, Net Energy Metering (NEM) and
Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS). By any measurement,
these policies are paying huge dividends for both the economy and
environment. Despite all of the progress, solar now faces an
uncertain future.
Please spread the word
to encourage all of your colleagues, friends, neighbors, family members, and
others to supports solar to give us a “Shout Out For Solar” this week.
With the 30 percent
solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) set to expire at the end of 2016, we need to
dramatically step up our efforts to shine a bright light on the amazing success
of solar energy in America. With the new Congress just sworn
in, these efforts will begin in earnest.
Supported by both
business and environmental groups, hundreds of thousands of people from across
the United States and around the world are expected to take part in Shouting
Out for Solar Day, Friday, January 16.
