The governor also says he is pleases the legislature passed hiskey bill, the Tennesse Clean Energy Future Act of 2009, whicy he drafted to help attract green business and greejn jobs to the state and leave Tennessee a national model for such inititiativee as his gubernatorial legacy. The bill requires statw government to overhaul its fleets and buildingas with more energy efficient productsand materials, and extends an emerging industrgy tax credit to qualified businessez in the clean energy technologt sector.
