BILL NUMBER:S2905
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to establishing a credit for geothermal energy systems
Purpose or general idea of the bill
This bill establishes a tax credit for the purchase and installation of geothermal energy systems.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 606 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subsection (g-3) to extend tax credits to cover the purchase and installation costs of geothermal energy systems.
Justification
Geothermal energy systems provide natural and renewable energy. The systems do not require the burning of fossil fuels and emit almost no carbon gases. They are efficient and much better for the environment than are conventional methods of supplying heat to buildings. Allowing a tax credit will increase the use of geothermal energy systems. This will create more green jobs and reduce the amount of carbon used to heat buildings.
