Tell Congress: Encourage the Use of Renewable Energy!

Despite months of proposed legislation and debate, stall tactics and foot-dragging on the part of some Senators have prevented Congress from doing anything. The public needs to speak out today to tell Congress: Stop the delays and extend the renewable energy tax incentives!
Dear Senator,
Since 2005, green industries have taken advantage of a series of federal tax incentives and credits to install renewable energy systems and produce more energy efficient products and technologies. States have used these incentives to meet their own greening requirements. Green technology has provided a bright spot in an otherwise struggling economy.
Now these tax incentives are coming to an end. Critical extensions are long overdue; it is up to you and your Senate colleagues to correct this problem. Every day that passes without an extension places thousands of green jobs at risk and slows down our transition to a clean energy economy. Renewable energy projects are already being put on hold, hiring has slowed down, and clean energy investment dollars are being directed outside our borders. If we do not extend these tax incentives, thousands of jobs and billions of investment dollars at risk.
Several efforts have been put forth over the past year to rectify this situation, but none have been successful. Senator, it is time to bring the stalling to an end. Immediate action is needed.

Please support our emerging clean energy economy by sending a bill that includes clean energy tax credit extensions to the President's desk.
Sincerely,
