Policies Needed: Growing Solar Energy Jobs

Workshop Session II: Tuesday, May 4, 2:30 - 4:00 p.m.
Concentration: Efficiency and Renewables

Renewable energies, and especially solar energy, represent an exciting opportunity to reshape the economy in a more sustainable way while generating added value and employment. Policies that favor solar energy can save billions of tons of CO2, create thousands of jobs, draw billions in investment, and can drive our economy. In particular, the Treasury Grant Program, DOE Loan Guarantee Program, the Manufacturing Tax Credit, and the Clean Energy Development Authority (CEDA), are the top priorities for the solar industry. Speakers will detail these policies and more in this workshop.
