“I commend one of the procedures, or one of the provisions, that is included in this legislative vehicle of extenders for tax considerations, and that is, the extension of the solar and fuel cell investment tax credits. Why do we offer this? Well, because there is support for alternative forms of energy and, in particular solar power, from all America. Eighty-two percent of Republicans, 77 percent of Democrats, 87 of Independents say we need to find alternative forms of energy. Mr. Speaker, for over a decade, I have been honored to represent the people of Arizona, more specifically, the eponymously nicknamed Valley of the Sun. But from Maine to Montana, from Arizona to Alaska to Alabama, across the country we need to utilize alternative forms of energy such as solar energy, such as fuel cell technology, and this provision does so. We extend it for an additional year.”
