dollars to set up the Tennessee Solar Institute in Knoxville, recruited
two large manufacturers of solar materials to the state, and his
administration pushed for legislation providing green energy companies a

creation and the introduction of tax incentives directed at the solar
industry spurred criticism of the governor during his last months in
office.
