Here we go again. It's not that I'm disappointed (obviously) that the RE tax credit bill is up for a vote again, it's that the House and the Senate bills differ. The differences between the bills mean that it may not pass (again) when it goes back to the Senate. As far as I can tell from this article, the House bill adds provisions that help pay for the tax breaks (what that is, I'm not sure) and the House bill also:
"...does not provide tax incentives for refineries to process oil from shale and tar sands or for projects that turn coal into liquid fuel."
I'm glad that refineries for oil from shale and tar sands won't have a tax incentive. Have you seen what they do up in Albert, Canada to squeeze oil out of the tar sands up there? The land is completely demolished. It looks like Mars. Imagine doing this to the Western slope of Colorado. No way.
Update: The Houston Chronicle does a deeper dive on the House bill here.
Moving toward a more sustainable, renewable, and efficient world.
How do we get there?
