Kate, great coverage of this political ping-pong match. I work for Vote Solar and we have been working to extend the clean energy tax incentives contained in H.R. 6049 for half a year. Hopefully some of the Grist readers will want to get involved as well.

Go to http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1179/letter/?letter_ ... to send a letter to your local newspaper on this topic.  Using our automated system it will take less than 3 minutes and will help raise the profile of this protracted struggle to wisely invest in our clean energy future.

Thank you in advance for your help.
