Renewable energy receives support to make solar thermal, pbotovoltaics, mud, 

 geotbermal, and biaaass acnpetitive, including a direct federal payment of 

 up to 1.5 cents per kiloiatt-hour for their electricity. It authorizes 

 federal/private joint ventures m these areas and praaotss technology export 

 to developing countries. The law makes a permanent tax credit for solar and 

 thermal energy and for wind and bicoass energy production.
