An Update on the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Tax Credits (H.R. 5984, H.R. 6049, and S. 2821)--Rejected, but...

The Senate today rejected the part of House bill H.R. 6049 that would have extended the renewable energy and energy efficiency tax credits that would otherwise expire at the end of this year. (Vote lists under the fold).

However, this is NOT the LAST potential opportunity for this Congress to extend the renewable energy and energy efficiency tax credits which will otherwise expire at the end of 2008. More under the fold.

The Senate, as it has once before, could attach an amendment to the pending Conference Report for the Housing mortgage foreclosure bill. The Senate previously voted 88-8 to attach the bipartisan Cantwell-Ensign S. 2821 bill to the housing bill (vote tally and cosponsors attached). That amendment was stripped from the bill by House leaders before approval by the House of H.R. 6049. An identical House companion to S. 2821, H.R. 5984, has been introduced by Congressman Roscoe Bartlett. It has 75 bipartisan cosponsors but has not yet been permitted to come to a vote (cosponsor list attached at bottom of post).

We encourage you to call your congressperson to tell them how you feel about this measure. To get the numbers of your senators or house members, go to http://www.senate.gov and http://www.house.gov. More information about the legislation, sponsors, and votes under the fold.

Maintaining consistent incentives for renewable energy policy will free up American businesses to do what they do best, (innovate), and that will result in American ownership of the Intellectual Property rather than German or Japanese or Chinese companies. More domestic production of energy will also reduce reliance upon foreign energy sources.

An independent study by Navigant found that “112,000 jobs in the wind and solar industries (78,000 wind, 34,000 solar) and $19 billion in investment” are at risk over the next 6-8 months in the United States f the renewable energy tax credits are allowed to expire. http://www.seia.org/Navigant_Tax_Credit_Impact.pdf

Commentary - Roscoe G. Bartlett: Congressional delays hobble renewable energy

Excerpt:

You might think that with oil over $125 per barrel and gasoline fast approaching $4 a gallon, it’s a no-brainer that…tax credits for clean, renewable domestic energy production would be extended. You would be wrong. House members could compromise and support H.R. 5984, which has already been approved 88-8 by the Senate. Shouldn’t that be a no-brainer?
