Tax Credits (Cuts) for Solar and Wind Power
The goal of every business is to make money. When businesses earn profits they pay a tax that is a percentage of their profit. The U.S. government could help solar and wind power companies by giving them tax credits or cuts. If solar and wind power companies don't have to pay taxes, then it will make their products cheaper for people to buy. If the products are cheaper then more Americans will use renewable energy instead of fossil fuels to power their homes and offices.
