tax incentives

U.S. wind power is growing at a breath-taking pace. Representatives from top wind turbine manufacturers including GE Energy, Gamesa, Siemens and Vestas, discuss U.S. wind energy's future outlook.

High-level officials participating in the Washington International Renewable Energy Conference wrap up the meeting and discuss pledges made at the event.

Now, there is a new bill (H.R. 5351, the Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Tax Act of 2008) on the table which would not only extend all of the “set to expire” tax credits, but would improve almost all of them.

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) talks about tax incentives to promote wind and other renewable energy. He talks about the need to passlegislation, perhaps as part of an economic stimulus bill, to extend those tax credits beyond this year.
