Not everyone may agree with my position on the ITC extension and the premise of the #solarpledge. But after a slew of e-mails, I see that a lot of you agree and most importantly, the President sees a permanent extension of the ITC as a vital part of investing in the jobs of the 21st century. The ITC isn’t holding back solar development, it is enhancing the quality of solar projects and long term O&M. It is a job support mechanism that pays for itself many times over. It is a revenue center for the Country’s largest banks and law firms, and those industries tend to do well in Congressional negotiations.
