Renewable tax credits likely to run out, leaving investment at home hanging

Renewable tax credits likely to run out, leaving investment at home hanging
Excerpt:
"On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed bill H.R. 5351 to renew a standing investment tax credit for solar, as well as wind, biofuels and other renewable sources. But as in the past, the bill faces stiff resistance in the Senate and a veto from President Bush.

Most media sources have reported on the bill as if its future is still uncertain, but the general feeling among analysts, entrepreneurs and VCs that I’ve talked to is fairly gloomy. Most expect that the credits will run out, leaving the industry in the lurch until the changing of the guard in 2009."

Washington Post - Bush finally warms to warming - At end of term, in search of a greener legacy, president highlights warming

Excerpt:
"People find all sorts of ways to lobby President Bush. Sometimes it comes in the form of a handwritten note slipped into his hand during a bill-signing ceremony.

Sen. Thomas R. Carper (D-Del.) tried that last week when Bush signed energy legislation that will curb greenhouse gases. "Congratulations and good work," Carper recalled writing. "By the way, Joe Lieberman and John Warner have a very good global warming bill that needs your support and you ought to support it.""
