Tell Congress: Encourage the Use of Renewable Energy!
Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Save Our Environment
Sponsored by: Save Our Environment
Three years ago, Congress created a series of tax incentives to encourage the use of renewable energy technology and energy efficient building practices. Today, many of these incentives are set to expire at the end of the year, putting thousands of jobs and billions of investment dollars at risk.
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!

It is important to save our environment because we are not the only species living in it.

It's wrong to offer continued tax credits to corporations dealing in fossil fuels while allowing renewable energy incentives to expire. If we don't act on this quickly, other countries will take the lead and the US will be left behind. |

Green industries mean green jobs -- millions of them! We must extend these incentives both to provide jobs (thus, improving the economy) and to combat climate change.
