Not only do "renewable" energy projects get an up-front 30% cash grant in lieu of the investment tax credit, the tax bill that was just passed also includes a 100% depreciation bonus on new equipment placed in service after September 8, 2010, through December 31, 2011, allowing businesses to depreciate the entire cost of the project (less ½ of the cash grant or investment tax credit) in the year that it is placed in service.
Let me rephrase that: the business gets to depreciate the value of one-half of the cash grant money THAT IT GOT FROM THE TAXPAYERS.
