President Trump and the Republicans are pushing a bill to eliminate or more bluntly, gut tax incentives that support the expansion of solar, wind and geothermal energy.  Renewable energy saves homeowners and business money because it costs less to generate electricity than with coal or natural gas and renewable energy promotes a cleaner envornment by reducing carbon pollution.

Please take action to urge your Member of Congress to say no on this proposal.

You may want to highlight the fact that these tax credits enable a homeowner or business to install solar, which saves money from having to buy electricity from DTE or Consumers Energy or some other utility in Michigan. 

Renewable energy costs less to generate electricity than coal, natural gas or nuclear because the fuel for solar and wind (sunlight and wind), is free. 

Renewable energy is clean energy. It doesn't pollute. So it promotes a cleaner environment which is better for outdoor activities like swimming, camping and fishing.
