obama green energy tax credits


U.S. President Obama unveiled a $2.3 billion tax credit on Friday to boost jobs by promoting clean energy. Obama said the credit, from funds earmarked under a $787 billion stimulus package he signed last February, would create 17,000 U.S. jobs and be matched by an additional $5 billion in private capital. The tax credits have been granted to 183 projects across the country involved in technologies that include solar, wind and other initiatives to improve energy efficiency.
