Senate Passed One Year Extension of Production Tax Credit. The bill now goes to the House of Representatives.

On April 10, the United States Senate overwhelmingly approved an amendment from Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and John Ensign (R-NV) to add the Clean Energy Stimulus Act, which provides for a one-year extension of the Production Tax Credit (PTC) to the Senate's housing bill. The vote was 88 to 8 in favor of this amendment. This win by a large margin shows strong bipartisan support for renewable energy in the Senate. Click here to see how your Senators voted.

However, we still need your support to make this bill become a law. The House of Representatives will also need to approve an extension of the PTC.

Please contact your Representative about the PTC extension.
