Rep. Tom Reed (R-Corning)
WASHINGTON – Congressman Tom Reed (R-Corning, NY 23) has received a national award for supporting legislation that promotes the use of renewable energy.
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) recently presented Reed and four other members of Congress with the SEIA Solar Champion Award. The organization says the honor is given to entities or individuals who have helped strengthen solar power in America.
Last week Reed was named as the latest award recipient for working to preserve and extend the federal Solar Investment Tax Credit.
As a result, SEIA estimates that solar jobs will more than double to 420,000 by the end of the decade. In addition, solar power in this nation will more than triple during that time, hitting 100 gigawatts by 2020, enough to power 20 million American homes.
Reed’s energy platform is what he calls an “all of the above” approach, meaning he not only supports renewable energy sources like solar and wind, but also the continuation of fossil fuel usage, including Natural Gas.
This is a joke. Tom Reed follows the Trump line on energy. Trump and Reed believe there is such a thing as ‘clean’ coal’, but mostly they want to use fossil fuel forever.
