BILL PRINDLE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AMERICAN COUNCIL FOR AN ENERGY EFFICIENT ECONOMY: The money was taken from existing programs on energy efficiency, so while some more money went into bio mass and solar and wind, the money came out of some other accounts and so there really wasn't a net new commitment to clean energy.

DHUE: Clean energy producers rely on tax credits to support their business models, but those tax breaks have been on and off in the last six years. For example, the wind industry wants its tax credit extended to 10 years, but as it stands those tax breaks expire after two years. Energy consultant Peter Fox Penner says the gap between political rhetoric and policy makes for a difficult investment climate.


Sounds like a real plan, huh.

Cheers,
Scott.
