Creates a $500 annual corporate income tax credit for each new green job created in renewable energy industries, available for tax years 2012-2017, with a maximum of 350 jobs per taxpayer per year.

Defines "green job" as employment in renewable and alternative energy fields including solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, hydrogen fuel cells, and hydropower, requiring minimum 35 hours per week for 48 weeks annually or 1,680 hours per year.
