Among its provisions, the Bridge to a Clean Energy Future Act of 2015 extends the Production Tax Credit for wind energy until January 1, 2017, offering parity with the duration of the Investment Tax Credit, as well as granting the solar industry access to credits at the start of a project's construction. The bill also provides a range of other important incentives, such as expanding the advanced energy project credit, which aids U.S. manufacturers across the clean energy industry. These measures are fully paid for by permanently ending outdated and wasteful tax breaks to the oil and gas energy sector. With the impacts of climate change already upon us, now more than ever our focus should be on helping clean energy industries grow and thrive. At the federal and state level including in Oregon we've already made notable investments in renewable energy resources, and this legislation will expand these efforts, said Representative Blumenauer. These investments will not only help us transition to a clean energy future, but simultaneously will create good jobs and support American innovation. Making sure the companies deploying clean technology across the country are able to compete with the highly profitable oil and gas sector will be critical to bringing stability, reliability, and efficiency to the emerging clean energy sector.
