Urge your Senators to extend the Production Tax Credit (PTC) immediately.
The Senate could vote on the extension of the PTC as soon as this afternoon.
Without rapid legislative action, the PTC will 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 PTC. Should we enter late summer 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. Studies show that 116,000 jobs and more than $19 billion in clean energy investment are at risk from a failure to extend the PTC and other renewable energy tax credits.
Please contact your Senators and urge them to vote for an extension of the PTC.
