Wouldn't it be great if this legislation passed? The Green Bank Act of 2014 has been introduced in the House and Senate again. In 2009, it passed in the House, but not the Senate, and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) has introduced it once more, this time with a companion Senate bill sponsored by Chris Murphy (D-Conn.). It would create permanent, reliable, low-cost financing for clean energy and energy-efficiency projects across the United States and provide seed funding for state green banks. One would think it would have bipartisan support because it would eliminate the need for subsidies. President Obama included it in one of his budgets, and the United Kingdom has a national Green Investment Bank.
