Solar, wind, geothermal and biomass power companies predict a slowdown in renewable-energy projects if Congress fails to extend a U.S. grant program during its post-election session.
The American Wind Energy Association, the Solar Energy Industries Association, the Biomass Power Association and the Geothermal Energy Association sent letters on Nov. 2 to lawmakers, pressing to extend the program that expires next month. The groups are acting before Republicans take control of the House next year after campaigning on a pledge to lower the federal deficit.
