“New Mexico has long been known as the state with the most sunshine—now we’re putting it to good use,” said Sen. Feldman. “This credit will benefit homeowners, now struggling with high home heating bills. It will boost economic development, and encourage more solar industry like Advent Solar, which will bring thousands of jobs to the state. And most important, it will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and help build a safer future for our children.” Article regarding the bill can be found at: Santa Fe New Mexican: Governor signs solar tax credit, education bills, March 3, 2006 Santa Fe New Mexican: Senate OK's solar tax credit, February 13, 2006 For more information on what other states have done to promote solar energy, visit the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy. |
