Tax credit? (was:RE: (ET) Think Spring)

["Phil Trice" <pctrice purdue edu>]

Paul,
        Speaking of battery packs, I heard a very brief blurb on the
radio the other day that might be of interest to the group. It was just
in passing, but I *thought* it mentioned that the Federal Government was
providing a tax-credit incentive to promote alternative energy. Said
incentive would allow up to $2000 deduction for alternative-energy
transportation expenditure.
        Does anyone within earshot (the EV-ers, particularly) know the
specifics of this? Would an electric tractor qualify as
'transportation'? Would a new battery pack (which I'd like, also) fall
in the permissible deductions?

Thanks,
        -Phil Trice

Hey guys, 
I'm thinking spring with a new battery pack of Trojan
T-105s for my C-185.

Speaking of batteries, checkout the Trojan website at
http://www.trojanbattery.com/ Under Tech Support is great info on
battery maintenance.

Thanks,
