If McCain and Obama are serious about creating jobs, they should look at extending tax credits to solar power companies.
A new study released today by Navigant Consulting claims that 440,000 permanent jobs would be created in the solar energy sector if Congress extends the solar investment tax credit for eight years.
I haven’t heard any good arguments about why Congress should NOT extend the tax credit. The stimulus could kick-start the kind of energy innovation that will help our country and our climate.
You can find the full press release and full study at the Solar Energy Industries Association site.
