Introducing: UnlockingAdvancedEnergy.com
WASHINGTON, DC – National business association Advanced Energy United has launched a new website and campaign that tells the story of how advanced energy companies are using smart tax cuts to unlock American energy abundance, open new U.S. manufacturing plants, and lower household electricity costs in states across the country.
The website, UnlockingAdvancedEnergy.com, features the real stories of advanced energy projects – including a coal field converted into a solar farm in Southwest Virginia, a Central Pennsylvania church saving money thanks to a rooftop solar installation, a new battery manufacturing facility in California, and the deployment of an emissions-free school bus fleet in Illinois’s smallest county – that were only made possible thanks to the existing tax cuts that are at risk of being shelved by Congress despite the economic growth, cost savings, and access to grid resilience solutions they are enabling.
