"The single most important step we can take in order to promote a rapid growth of renewable energy in the United States is to adopt our own version of the German feed-in tariff. In my travels to Germany I have been amazed at how this very simple policy has created an explosion of grassroots interest in the use of solar and wind energy. It is time to bring this renewable energy revolution to the United States."- Representatitve Bill Delahunt (D-Mass)
"Germany's Feed-in Tariff Renewable Energy Policy approach makes strategic sense in North America. This is especially true if we want a powerful tool to address rapid climate disruption and substantial green job creation at the same time." -- Peter Coyote, actor/author
The following are supporters of Feed-In Tariffs (FITs), also called CLEAN Contracts: Clean, Local, Energy, Available, Now Contracts.
