(Utilities) are negligent to their ratepayers if they are not considering building a concentrating solar plant in the next five years. |
California will be a leader in the next great high-tech growth industry - solar energy. This long-term, visionary policy will save ratepayers money, create high-paying jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy. |

I applaud DARPA for recognizing the tremendous potential of solar energy to provide reliable electricity to our troops in the field and to improve our energy security here at home. |
In 2005, we saw a tripling of venture capital money going into the solar industry compared to 2004. |
It's frustrating that you don't have consistency across all 50 states. |
The establishment of these tax credits signifies that Congress recognizes solar as an important source of energy that belongs as a part of our national energy portfolio. And along the way, SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association) developed new; powerful supporters of solar who will help us continue to expand solar energy markets in the years to come. |
This is one of the few tax credits that consumers can utilize to reduce their energy bill. I think as we get mired deeper into the oil crisis and the electricity crisis this summer, there will be a lot of pressure on the Hill to pass legislation that is consumer focused. This will really help those who are on the fence to decide to install solar on their homes. |
This is the single most significant initiative that will occur in the solar field in 2006 globally. |
We expect this bill to have strong bipartisan support and since it was introduced by the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member, it will have the legs to move through Committee quickly. |
We're thrilled. This reverses a trend of decreases in (research and development). It shows that solar plays an important role in our energy mix. |
With this initiative, California has taken a major step toward energy independence. This long-term, visionary policy will save ratepayers money, create high-paying jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy. The CPUC should be congratulated in creating a decade-long initiative that will drive the US solar industry to invest in technological innovation and scale up manufacturing. California will be a leader in the next great high-tech growth industry - solar energy. |
