In comments following a U.S. Senate hearing yesterday, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said he supports extending the federal wind energy production tax credit (PTC).
Politico Pro quoted Salazar as adding, "I think we need to move forward with financial certainty for the industry so they’re not having to go through the stop and start of the past," referring to past years when the PTC has been allowed to expire.
During the hearing, Salazar referred to wind power as "part of the race we cannot cede to the rest of the world," adding, "It is an opportunity we ought not let pass from us.”
A House bill seeking to extend the PTC has 72 cosponsors, including 18 Republicans, and has received the endorsement of a broad coalition of more than 370 ...
U.S. Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Scott Brown (R-Mass.) have won praise from Walter Frick at the Boston tech blog BostInno for joining 10 other Senators from both parties in a letter supporting extension of the federal wind energy Production Tax Credit (PTC).
In a post entitled In Rare Show of Bipartisanship, Kerry & Brown Agree It’d Be Stupid to Raise Taxes on Wind ...
We were recently alerted to a lengthy attack on wind energy that was released by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) in its “Energy and Environment Outlook.” There are many serious errors in the paper, including two major mistakes that completely bring down the central argument of the paper. In a surprising turn, once those errors are corrected, the data presented in the paper actually make a compelling case for why America should be increasing its use of renewable energy.
Study overestimates cost of wind energy by 500 percent
The central argument of the paper, that wind is not cost effective compared to fossil-fired generation, rests upon what we will charitably call a major math error. Author Benjamin Zycher drastically inflates the cost ...

Paul Masotti: Letter to the Editor
Conclusions of story not supported by public health agencies and medical community
I read the story "Wrecking our heaven" (Jan. 9) with interest and a feeling of being let down.
This article could leave readers with the conclusions that wind turbines cause ill health and are a health risk to the unborn. These conclusions are not supported by the available research and are ...
The Heritage Foundation's blog recently carried an article questioning the value of the federal wind energy Production Tax Credit (PTC). The following was posted as a comment:

The story of recent wind power supply-chain entrant Energetx Composites of Holland, Mich., and how wind power is providing new economic opportunities in the Wolverine State is the subject of the latest segment of WindTV, the American Wind Energy Association’s vehicle to highlight how ...
