This country needed this boost to alternative energy to: 1) Improve our Security-Reduce dependence on foreign oil. 2) Economic- Reduce the trade gap and create good manufacturing jobs at home. 3) Environmental Stewardship-Reduce Carbon emissions. 4) And, Hope for our nation and our future as an economic world leader.

In addition, AZ with the no.1 solar insolation index in the country (more than 2400), would have the most to gain from such an incentive .

Granted, the multi-year extension of the credits could not be founded by using 1/4 of the credits given to big oil, however if we were ever to spend a dollar on credit, this is an infrastructure investment with a payback in perpetuity.

A nation with access to low cost energy and a positive trade balance has the cash flow and capital to reinvest in itself, this is the path to prosperity. Sadly , we as a country, have reached the limit on our credit cards, with absolutely no leadership, and have degenerated into a chaotic nation of selfish desperadoes.

God Bless

Now that’s some representation to get AZ to be the Persian Gulf of Solar (per our Gov) – creating clean and increasingly required industies AND local jobs. Nice show elected Senators!
