Stabenow introduces bill to promote American renewable energy manufacturing

“NHA applauds Senator Debbie Stabenow for her work to bolster clean energy manufacturing in the United States.  During these tough economic times, Americans are calling on Washington to enact policies that promote job creation.  The Make It in America Act introduced last week answers that call. 

“This bill would provide an additional $5 billion for the highly successful Advanced Manufacturers Tax Credit program.  As more and more developers look to construct all forms of hydropower throughout the country, ensuring manufacturing is done here will help us tap over one million new U.S. jobs in the hydropower industry. 

“NHA has previously supported various Congressional efforts to provide additional allocations to the program. 

“NHA urges the quick passage of this legislation and looks forward to working with Congress on other policies beneficial to hydropower and America’s clean energy future.”
