An unusual alliance of business, trade association and environmental groups are calling on President-elect Barack Obama to provide a tax credit to support companies that add a renewable energy fund to employee 401(k) plans. 

According to the Renewable Energy Task Force, South Denver Chamber of Commerce, the Renewable Energy 401(k) Tax Credit will be a high yield investment for the economic stimulus package.  At a comparatively moderate cost of $7 to $8 billion dollars, the proposed tax credit is expected to generate $30 to $100 billion of renewable energy investment, along with 500,000 or more clean energy jobs. The American Wind Energy Association reports 2007 revenues for the U.S. renewable energy sector were $19 billion.  

"It's time to help Americans get back to work by investing in renewable energy production,” says st1:personname w:st="on">Beth Hart, President of Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association (COSEIA). “For the 50 million employees who participate in 401(k) plans, we need to make it easy to invest in renewable energy."
