Tax incentives for renewable energy systems and EVs
 

The federal government offers a 30% tax credit for the purchase of solar panels.  Virginia must lead and offer a tax credit to encourage businesses and residents across the commonwealth to install PV, wind, geothermal, and other renewable energy systems to generate carbon-free electricity.

The federal government offers a $7,500 tax credit for the purchase of an electric car.  Virginia must lead and offer a tax credit to encourage businesses and residents to purchase or lease electric vehicles.  Va. could start by offering a credit in the areas with the worst air quality.

There's a global environmental disaster looming and Virginia must lead with bold effective programs that rapidly reduce our generation of greenhouse gases.
