Bush Pushes Tax Credits for Hybrid and Fuel Cell

Speaking at a White House event for manufacturers of hybrid and fuel cell vehicles, Pres. Bush touted his proposed $3 billion tax credit plan for purchasers of hybrid or fuel cell vehicles. "There is a role for the federal government, not only to encourage research and development, but a role to provide tax credits to enhance the marketplace," said Bush. The $3 billion, 11-year tax credit plan is contained in the administration’s Fiscal Year 2003 budget. The incentives are also contained in the $14.5 billion tax portion of the Senate energy bill (S. 517). The Finance Committee, however, has not found a way to offset the expense of the tax credits. (Bureau of National Affairs, Daily Tax Report, February 26, 2002, p. G-3).
