Today, the congressional tax package was released with proposed language that significantly reduces the tax credit for Biomass stoves and boilers from 30% to 10%.  To change this, we need you to call or email your legislative officials today!<br \/>\nThe current 25C tax credit (which expires on Dec. 31, 2010) provides a 30% tax credit of up to $1,500 for wood, pellet and corn stoves and boilers that are at least 75% efficient.  However, today&#8217;s draft tax language drops that credit down to a 10% tax credit up to $500.<br \/>\nNow is not the time to limit investment in clean, renewable, and energy efficient biomass heating appliances.  A robust tax credit can be the difference between a family transitioning to an efficient biomass system or not.<br \/>\nHelp us right now by contacting your Congressional Representative and Senators today. Tell them to maintain the 25C tax credit level for efficient, renewably-fueled biomass stoves and boilers. The vote could happen as soon as Monday Dec. 13th so don\u2019t wait, take a few minutes to contact you representatives right now.<br \/>\nYou can email your Congressman here: <a href=\"https:\/\/writerep.house.gov\/writerep\/welcome.shtml\">https:\/\/writerep.house.gov\/writerep\/welcome.shtml<\/a><br \/>\nYou can email your Senator here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/general\/contact_information\/senators_cfm.cfm\">https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/general\/contact_information\/senators_cfm.cfm<\/a><br \/>\nPlease also feel free to forward this email to your friends and family.<br \/>\nThanks for your help,<br \/>\nGeorge L Peters Jr \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baltimorebiomass.com\">https:\/\/www.baltimorebiomass.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We need you help!
