"The decision by the court to allow states to continue work on their carbon reduction plans under the Presidents Clean Power Plan is a victory for advocates of clean energy everywhere. State regulators can now begin to incorporate a significantly growing role for solar power into their long-term energy planning.
"Smart industry, financial and government leaders are already betting on the Clean Power Plan by moving forward with initiatives and policies to advance a clean energy economy. The solar Investment Tax Credit extension enacted late last year is a great example of recent policy that can speed emissions reductions.
