Governors back extension of wind and solar tax credits

PHILADELPHIA – Governors from across the country agree that it will take bold leadership to confront the nation’s energy crisis.

But they couldn’t come to a consensus position on climate change or nuclear expansion or the future of coal.

The best they could do was a letter calling on Washington to extend solar and wind energy tax credits for five years.

The conclusion of the four-day National Governors Association conference in Philadelphia may have fallen short of the hopes of people like Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., but he calls the tax credits that will phase out without congressional action vital.

“Continuing the renewable tax credit legislation is critical for the nation’s energy security, economic prowess and making progress in reducing carbon emissions,” he said in a statement Monday.
