ACORE Statement on Today’s Introduction of “Clean Energy for America Act”

Statement from Gregory Wetstone, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE)

“We commend Senator Wyden for his leadership in introducing the Clean Energy for America Act, a technology-neutral bill that would at long last modernize the federal tax code for 21st century power generation. The proposal would drive economic growth by creating a level playing field in electricity markets, improving affordability and reliability for consumers, creating plenty of good-paying American jobs, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. ACORE welcomes the opportunity to work with Senator Wyden and others in Congress to advance the Clean Energy for America Act through the legislative process this year.“
