WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY APPLAUDS U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES’ PASSAGE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY CREDITS

Following the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of the Economic Stabilization Act, Greg Wetstone, Senior Director of Governmental and Public Affairs at the American Wind Energy Association, released the following statement:

“We salute Members of Congress in both parties who fought under difficult conditions to keep the renewable energy production tax credit and small turbine investment tax credit on the agenda until the very end, and then pushed them across the finish line. These tax credits are essential to the continued growth of wind energy, to the economic and energy security of the United States, and to a successful beginning in the fight against global warming. We look forward to working next year with a new Congress and Administration to fashion a serious long-term clean energy policy that increases domestic energy, increases our reliance on clean renewable energy, and creates jobs for Americans.”  
 

AWEA is the national trade association of America’s wind industry, with more than 1,600 member companies, including global leaders in wind power and energy development, wind turbine manufacturing, component and service suppliers, and the world’s largest wind power trade show. AWEA is the voice of wind energy in the U.S., promoting renewable energy to power a cleaner, stronger America.  More information on wind energy is available at the AWEA Web site:  www.awea.org.
