This is an update to my recent <a title="The Buck Stops Here" href="http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/?p=479">"Buck Stops Here" posting</a>.

Senator Menendez’s “Solar Manufacturing Jobs Creation Act” was assigned a number today - <strong>S.1858</strong> and it has been referred to the Senate Finance Committee as expected.

Thanks to Brent Gunderson who has already gotten on the horn, Senator Merkley from Oregon (who was the co-sponsor of the solar bill last session) will support it as well. So will Senator Wyden, who is on the Senate Finance and Energy Committees. Senator Wyden is also behind mastering the SolarWorld complaint against the Chinese for PV module dumping in America.
