ITCs Make it in New Senate Bailout Bill
Great news this morning that the ITC extension has made it into the new Senate version of the bailout bill. Cleantech industry experts and watchers had all but written an extension off after it looked as though the House would not vote on the last Senate-passed ITC/PTC extension and instead passed a version that the White House said it would veto.
The bill is expected to pass through the Senate quickly and has a number of other popular additions (including the alternative minimum tax) that they hope will get more House support. I can't imagine Bush not signing the bill if it makes it to his desk unchanged.
This is a critical week for the solar, wind and other industries, as well as for cleantech and green PR agencies, law firms, VCs and every other market that services them.
Quick Note: We'll be hosting a webinar on the intersection of public relations and government relations for green and cleantech companies on Wednesday, November 12, 2008. You can register here.
