American Wind Energy Association Statement on Senate Renewable Energy Tax Proposal
As the Senate prepared to vote today on
a bipartisan proposal to extend expiring tax credits for renewable
energy production, Gregory Wetstone, Senior Director of Governmental
& Public Affairs at the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA),
issued the following statement:
“On behalf of America’s wind energy
industry and the millions of Americans who favor clean, domestic
wind power, I applaud this critically important effort to move
forward on renewable energy tax incentives before Congress leaves
town at the end of the month. We are grateful to Senate leaders
from both parties who put aside their differences to come together
around this bipartisan package. Clean energy tax incentives are a
vital part of the solution to our nation’s economic, energy
security, and environmental challenges. With more than 100,000 jobs
and billions of dollars in clean energy investment at risk, we urge
all members of the Senate to vote yes on the Baucus-Grassley
Amendment to H.R. 6049 and on final passage of this important
legislation. We hope the Senate’s approval of this measure today
will add to the momentum for swift action in the House of
Representatives.”
AWEA is the national trade association of America’s wind industry,
with a membership that includes global leaders in wind power
development, wind turbine manufacturing, and energy, as well as a
broad range of component and service suppliers. More information on
