Supporting Incentives to Spur U.S. Renewable Energy Development
Renewable energy is a crucial element of Colorado's and America’s economic and energy future, supporting thousands of jobs while protecting the environment. I joined 33 of my colleagues in sending a letter to key Senate leaders emphasizing the importance of key renewable energy programs like the Production Tax Credit and Section 1603, because I want to ensure that the tremendous growth in this field over the past decade continues into the next one. These incentives are critical to help companies leverage private investment to create good-paying jobs in Colorado. That’s why I also signed a bipartisan letter supporting the extension of tax credits for wind energy production beyond 2012, which helps give the industry certainty for sustained growth. I will keep working on policies to spur a robust and competitive clean energy industry in the United States.
