Alternative Energy Update

There's yet another incentive to install an alternative energy system now - NO SALES TAX!

Through 2008, there will be no sales tax in Wyoming on purchases of equipment to install wind, solar, hydro, biomass, landfill gas and hydrogen and geothermal energy projects.

In addition, grants of up to $3,000 for alternative energy systems are available through John Nunley at the Wyoming Business Council, 214 West 15th St., Cheyenne, WY 82002, (307) 777-2800.

Wyoming's abundant wind and solar resources, combined with a tax incentive and grants to individuals and businesses, should stimulate further alternative energy production. Now's the time to GO ALTERNATIVE!

On a related note, WOC is increasing our solar energy production by 33%! Thanks to a generous contribution of labor and expertise from Scott Kane of Lander's Creative Energies and WOC associate director Christine Lichtenfels' funding for equipment, we are boosting our production of solar energy and cutting the amount of pollution we create.
