am-cor inc. signs ACORE Letter to Congress
Created 2008-02-27
am-cor inc. today signed ACORE's ITC/PTC Letter to Congress. The American Council On Renewable Energy, of which am-cor inc. is a member, urged the United States Senate and House of Representatives extend certain tax credits, thereby promoting growth in the renewable energy sector and creating new jobs.
From the letter:


The time is now for the United States to enhance and sustain policy priorities to prevent immediate and long-term interruptions in the renewable energy sector by extending the Production Tax Credit (PTC) and the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) before March 1, 2008 in order to:
  • Enhance and sustain policy priorities to prevent immediate and long-term interruption in the renewable energy sector and job loss;
  • Promote extensions which reflect the need to level the playing field for the US renewable energy industry to compete globally;
  • Prevent the cancellation of 42,000 MW of planned renewable energy projects in development today in 45 states – an amount equivalent to 75 base load electricity generation stations.

We hope Congress will support renewable energies, for the good of the USA and the world.
