Renewable Energy Industry Hit by Federal Spending Bill

Capitol News Illinois reports the federal budget repeals tax credits used by many homeowners and businesses to offset the cost of solar panels. Illinois solar industry experts say the repeal is going to slow projects in the coming years. But they say state-level incentives are some of the best in the nation, protecting the booming industry from having its growth curtailed by the Trump administration.
