We urge all stakeholders to write letters of support to Congress, addressing the Senate Finance Committee and House Ways & Means Committee to co-sponsor Senate Bill 672. It is essential for unifying efforts to include this bill in the Chairman's markup for the upcoming Energy Bill. Outreach to key senators and representatives is critical. Organizational endorsements from groups like NRECA, governors, agricultural and environmental organizations will bolster our cause. Join the Renewable Energy Finance Coalition for ongoing updates and to show your support.
