The answer in short is…YES!

You will receive the full tax credit as income back. Also, the tax credit was actually increased to $8,000, not $7,500. Good luck.

I am planning on buying a house next month and would qualify for the 7500 tax credit. I usually have a 4-500 tax refund when I file my taxes, so can I expect to receive 8000 next year?

John F. Kennedy once said “When you have seven percent unemployed, you have ninety-three percent working. “ It is that type of optimism that we need to help us to move onto a path of growth and hope ! These days there is so much to keep us down and frightened about the future not just on TV but on the Internet and everywhere.

So many people are focused on the negative and constantly playing the armchair quarterback in a negative way. The pundits in the media have an endless supply of bad news and speculative forecasts that if listened to and dwelled upon could cause people to wonder “why get out of bed tomorrow what’s the point”?

Let’s focus on the good news because the glass is really “half full”:

• Clean technology took over in the amount of venture funding received in 2008.
• The amount invested in CleanTech by venture companies grew for 6 billion in 07’ to 8 billion in 08’ and while that is predicted to decline slightly in 09’ it is still well above 0’7 figures.
• The total invested in Clean Technology grew last year from $75.8 billion to over $115 billion.
• The US took over as the largest producer of Wind Energy in the World.
• Smart grid investment is set to improve our use of electric power with new investment in new smart grid technology 08’ of over 3 billion.
• The US stimulus plan has 70 billion in incentives to help grow CleanTechnology , which in turn should help create Wind Jobs, Solar Jobs, Hydro Job, Biofuel Jobs etc.
• Of that 70 million in stimulus 17 million is devoted to help move solar and wind power from remote locations to the consumers.
• The news in the stock markets in the US has been strong with a gain of 20%

Being at the forefront of the leading technology that has the ability to shape the future of the World in many aspects from economically to environmentally, so let’s take the lead on having a positive attitude! So I am inviting anyone that has good news to post it as frequently as possible.

Bob
Attitude is everything!
