SEIA requests help in urging Senators to vote for critical solar tax credits

A few weeks ago, the bi-partisan "Baucus Amendment" containing important energy tax provisions - including a long-term extension of the solar and fuel cell investment tax credit (ITC) - fell just three votes shy of passage.

Your involvement could make a key difference in changing that vote. Currently, Senate leadership is working to revive the tax package, and the support of a few more Senators can help push this measure through.

Please write to your Senator asking them to vote in favor of this progressive legislation that will create tens of thousands of quality jobs and help spur the use of solar power throughout the US.

Email your U.S. Senator now and urge them to vote in favor of Senate Amendment 1704, the Baucus-Grassley energy tax package. Click here to take action, or copy and paste the following link into your browser:
