but Murkowski seems encouraged—given the bipartisan
support her package has received.
By working with key allies like the International Ground
Source Heat Pump Association and the Geothermal Exchange
Organization, NGWA is confident the tax code will be
amended this year to afford the geothermal tax incentive the
same extension received by wind and solar industries.
We look forward to engaging NGWA membership support
in this initiative, among others, throughout 2016.
