The legislation extends the tax credit for wind energy for one year and allows an eight-year extension for investment tax credits for solar energy projects. Tax credits ranging from US$2,500 to $7,500 would be provided to buyers of electric cars.<\/p>\n

The president of the Solar Energy Industries Association, Rhone Reschthat, estimated that tax credits contained in a bailout package could create 440,000 permanent jobs and add US$325 billion in private investment in the US solar energy sector. A bailout proposal is currently being debated in the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n
