AWEA Action Alert: Urge Your Senators to Vote for the Economic Stimulus bill that contains a PTC extension.

Contact your Senators and tell them to vote YES on the Economic Stimulus Package that includes a PTC extension.

The Senate Finance Committee approved a stimulus package that included a pivotally important 1-year extension of the Production Tax Credit (PTC). The package now goes to the full Senate.

The PTC is set to expire at the end of 2008. To maintain existing jobs and to continue growing thousands of new jobs, it is vital that Congress act quickly to extend the wind energy PTC early in the first quarter of 2008. Should we enter late spring without a PTC extension the impacts on wind industry investment will escalate dramatically as the financial community responds to growing uncertainty as to the future availability of the PTC.

Contact your Senators and urge them to vote YES on the Senate Finance Committee’s stimulus package that includes the PTC extension, and to support a “cloture” motion to overcome a filibuster on the package.
