However, it still must pass the Senate before it's for real. The alternative energy credits are looking like they are going to stick but the supporting Republicans want some cuts before they will vote in favor. Hopefully those cuts won't be critically needed alternative energy tax credits. The Democrats need several Republicans votes to make it so. Joe I feel for ya man. But I'm guessing until we are out of oil this is as good as it's going to get for some time. Too bad we couldn't be like Canada. There you can put a system in, apply for the Grant, and if it goes through collect the money. Here in the US if you spend a dime on a system you can't get a grant to help pay for that dime later. The grant has to be accepted before you put the system in. Otherwise you don't get the money. Let's keep our open for the Green Dream!

Thank you for this well written article and sharing the breakdown of Obama's promise, which has become reality. The $20 Billion in energy tax credits and $10 billion for renewable energy will produce jobs and certainly jump start our economy as President Obama's administration begins. I'm excited too that homeowners also qualify..... Thank you, Sandy Jerry;

I started generating October 2,2008,the day before the president signed the new Solar Tax Credit.Which meant anyone placing their system in service January 1,2009 would get a 30% tax credit lifting the cap of $2,000.00 that ended December 31,2008.I was very upset with this action taking from Congress.How could they pass such a Law providing solar systems placed in service January 2009 leaving behind the ones who placed their systems in service in 2008 with only a $2,000.00 tax credit.Times are tough enough and alot of people are hurting in this huge economic down turn!If Congress would make the new Solar Tax Credit retroactive,it would help the thousands of people like me, make it through these rough times,who are trying to do good by using renewable energy resources!!! I hope someone hears our cries for better renewable tax laws!! Thank-You!! Joe Taglieri...... Hello to whom it may concern,my name is Joe.I had a solar system installed in October 2008.

Tax cuts are mild incentives to do the right thing. I would support direct mandates to install a network of alternative energy sources. Until there is a network, no one wants to buy a vehicle they cannot fuel up. What comes first, the chicken or the egg. I say the fuel must be available first. I am certainly not afraid of the free market capitalists. I say go for the mandating of infrastructure. Don't fool around with our future energy independence. This is not aggressive enough.
