Tell Congress to Extend the Renewable Energy Tax Credit

From Earthjustice

The clean energy tax credit will expire at the end of this year.

Please -- urge Congress to extend it.

For decades, oil and other dirty energy sources have enjoyed subsidies that give them an unfair edge over renewable energy.

The current tax credit for renewable energy generation helps level the playing field a bit, giving clean energy sources a fighting chance to become a more significant alternative to dirty energy.

But the tax credit is set to expire at the end of the year, which would deal a significant setback to efforts to make the transition toward clean energy.

It's time to start moving to a cleaner, affordable, and sustainable energy future. We need you to ask Congress to renew the tax credit for renewable energy generation and to require that more of our nation's electricity come from renewable sources.

Four-dollar-a-gallon gas and rapidly rising global temperatures are a sure sign that we need new alternatives -- but we won't get them if our government continues to stack the deck in favor of dirty and increasingly expensive 19th century power sources.

Please hurry -- we need your comments to your legislators by September 26, when Congress is scheduled to adjourn. So far, 5,802 people have already taken action.
