The renewable energy industry has a very explicit message for the Trump administration on bringing jobs to rural communities: get out of the coal mines and look up at the sky.
Wind farm developers and suppliers in the United States had more than 100.000 workers by the end of the year and the solar industry doubles that number, apart from being a significant source of employment for many of the rural states that support Donald Trump's campaign.
It's last year when the coal mine jobs they had 65.791 positions, so you can understand the importance of not neglecting renewable energy in the United States.
Leaders of the solar and wind industries indicate that rural areas that were left out of economic growth under President Barack Obama are benefiting from the expansion of clean energy.
Therefore, the Trump administration is urged to continue support for guidelines pro-solar companies that helped create more than 200.000 jobs in the past decade, with more than 9.000 small businesses supplying and installing solar panels.
Wind Power Developers Await attract $ 60.000 billion in investment private under tax credits for the next few years as facilities continue to grow, and the energy sent to the central grid will double by about 10 percent.
That plus the provisions obtained with credit extensions, would help preserve the guidelines as Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress consider changes to the tax system.
So from what looks like the tactic is going to be hold out as long as possible while this time of Trump's mandate passes so that everything that has been done so far is not harmed.
