No: Incentives/renewables Coming Now No incentives coming now- they are being stalled by Senate Republicans The Republican Herald, 07-28-2008. “Revolutionary approach needed for energy independence” http://www.republicanherald.com/articles/2008/07/28/opinion/editorial/pr_republican.20080728.a.pg10.pr28energye ditorial_s1.1838040_edi.txt The nation’s governors gathered in Philadelphia recently for the 100th annual meeting of their national association and, apparently were inspired by the city’s revolutionary history. They overwhelmingly recognized the need for a revolutionary approach to greater energy independence, and called upon Congress to renew a series of key incentives that have helped to foster the remarkable growth in alternative energy development and use. For many of the governors those incentives mean even more than enhanced diversity in their states’ energy supplies because they translate into substantial economic and job development. Pennsylvania is a good example. Philadelphia is the North American headquarters of the Spanish wind-energy company Gamesa, a major player in the exponential global expansion of wind-driven power generation. It also has two production plants in Pennsylvania. The state government itself also has chosen to invest heavily in biodiesel and cellulosic ethanol development. The federal government has aided alternative energy development with several tax credits that will expire this year unless Congress extends them. So far — incredibly, given soaring fuel and electricity costs — those extensions have been stalled by Senate Republicans. In recognition of the importance of alternative energy development to the nation and, especially, to Pennsylvania, Sen. Arlen Specter should lead an effort on his side of the aisle to renew the incentives. They include the renewable energy production tax credit for utility-scale renewable energy sources such as wind and the 30 percent residential and commercial tax credit for residential installation of solar panels or fuel cells. These credits should be a classic no-brainer in the current energy environment.
No renewables coming now AFX.COM 9-7-2004 [AFX News Ltd, "BHP, Exxon Mobile tell energy congress to get smart on fossil fuel use," LN// BHP Billiton and Exxon Mobile said clean, green energy sources will stay relatively insignificant for at least 20 years so the world needs to work on using fossil fuels more efficiently. In separate submissions to the 19th World Energy Congress in Sydney, the resources giants said fossil fuels will continue to provide the vast bulk of the world's energy needs in coming decades. BHP Billiton chief executive Chip Goodyear said world demand for energy is set to increase about 50 pct by 2025, as developing nations, such as India and China, undergo rapid industrialization. "All sources of energy will be in greater demand and primary fossil fuels will meet the major share of incremental energy demand for at least the next two decades," Goodyear said. "Within the non-fossil fuel area, the growth of nuclear (power) is xpected to be slow and renewables may grow rapidly but from a very low base.
