URGENT: Call Albany to Lobby for NYC Solar Bill
Jun 8th, 2008 by Jervey
From Chris Neidl at Solar One:
Right now legislation is pending in the New York State Senate and Assembly that, if made into law, would give new solar PV system owners in the five boroughs a sizable property tax abatement. Such an incentive would make solar more affordable and would boost the amount of clean energy in-city over the next few years, while permanently driving down costs.
The Senate bill (8145) has made it through committee and will be voted on shortly. The Assembly bill (11202) however, is still waiting to be considered by the Real Property Tax Committee. There are only two and half weeks remaining in the current legislative session so the time for the Assembly to act is now!
Go to the I Heart PV campaign’s Cause Caller page where you can make contact with four members of the Real Property Tax Committee and urge them to move the bill through for a general vote now - without even looking up a single number. It’s easy and takes about 5-10 minutes.
Make the call now and help make solar more affordable for New Yorkers!
This Cause Caller service is really, really easy to use and incredibly effective. Here’s that link again. Do it now! We beg you!
