Congress Should Make Harvey Solar Tax Breaks and Subsidies for Electric Cars

Hurricane Harvey may have wrecked a half million vehicles that will need to be replaced. There is no better time for congress to act to move part of the nation toward non-polluting electric cars. Curtailing greenhouse gas emissions as far as possible ought to be a priority for the U.S. government. This is a moment in history where the U.S. Congress could take several steps to show the electorate that it is not worthy of a disapproval rating greater than its present 79%

The Congress should also act swiftly to eliminate taxes and to provide whatever financial help that is possible to Texans that buy solar panels. The new roof tiles that produce electric power should also be given a special status.

England has already acted to ban sales of fossil fuel automobiles in 20 years or so. The U.S. government should itself do something at least to support a Texas reconstruction with solar power and electric vehicles.
