Cleantech hole in tax deal: potential job-killer

” … [I]t appears that an important piece was left out of the framework tax deal: two relatively small clean energy tax provisions that have created tens of thousands of jobs and will improve U.S. economic competitiveness while reducing pollution.”

We couldn't agree more. Adds Weiss, “This compromise package ought to include the two expiring renewable energy tax programs that have a proven job-creation record if more jobs is a major goal.”
