Promote solar policy generally at the Federal level, particularly for small solar (mostly rooftop) and storage businesses, and more specifically continuation, or reinstatement of, investment tax credits (ITCs), especially sections 48E, 25D, in the tax code as extended in PL 117-169 or "OBBBA" as well as reasonable implementation of foreign entities of concern (FEOC) provisions from that law, and strong solar policies at DOE and the Solar office/program or related agencies generally, and continued support and strong implementation of the USDA REAP program (from the farm bill, PL 115-334 as well as OBBBA).

Support DOE Wind program office for wind power development particularly for distributed wind power market segment. This is a long-standing office and program, which is effective, and helps small wind businesses (and by extension customers) across the US. Support relevant and growing appropriations for the office and program, as well as distributed wind power in particular. Distributed wind power helps farmers, rural businesses, and many others lower energy costs, and improve the bottom line, as well as improve environmental quality, typically for rural communities. Advocate, to degree possible, for reinstatement or revised wind power investment and production tax credits, as well as workable rules related to those (mostly former) tax credits (48E, 45Y etc.), in the "OBBBA" or HR 1 going forward. Support reasonable implementation and guidance for said legislation.
