Last week, the Texas Senate voted to create a $500 million fund to support solar
power. This is great news, but already Big Oil and King Coal are gunning to kill
renewable energy legislation. Don’t let them!

priority solar power bills.

Texas has what it takes to be a world solar leader. The state Legislature is
currently considering incentives to install solar panels on half a million
rooftops in the next 10 years. This would create an economic revolution,
attracting billions in investment and creating tens of thousands of jobs. 

Unfortunately, lobbyists for the oil and coal industries are aggressively
lobbying against solar power legislation. If we don’t act, these projects will
go to other states. Please click below to send an e-mail telling your state
legislators to pass these solar power bills.

Last week, the Texas Senate approved SB 545 (Fraser) to create a statewide solar
rebate program that would create $500 million of incentives over the next five
years. This is a great start, but in order to reduce pollution enough to avoid
dangerous global warming, we need to do even more to promote solar. The Texas
House will soon take SB 545 to a vote and may include additional incentives.

A Senate committee also approved SB 541 (Watson) last week, which sets a goal of
generating 3,000 megawatts of our electricity from emerging renewable
technologies such as solar. 

The full Senate will consider the bill later this week. Tell them to vote for
more solar power for Texas: http://www.environmenttexas.org/action/solar-power/email?id4=ES
