Tom Carlson, AEE's Government Affairs Policy Associate, travelled to North Carolina to speak on a panel. The Triangle Business Journal offered video of the event and quoted Carlson: "Carlson of Advanced Energy Economy said energy companies are not only asking legislators to extend the current tax cuts so investment conversations can continue, but they are also hoping to convince legislators to create long-term policies that are tech-neutral; in other words, put more permanent tax incentives in place for market stability."
