Sen. Grassley [R-IA] promises to continue supporting Wind Welfare Tax ~ Production Tax Credit

North American Wind Power posted an exclusive  story about  Senator Grassley's [R-IA]    continued support of Wind Welfare  through the  Production Tax Credit.

Grassley was quoted as saying. 

"I've always said the incentive should exist only until the industry can stand on its own and compete effectively against traditional sources," Grassley says. "That time is coming, and I believe Congress will consider options to responsibly phase out the credit, as the wind industry itself has suggested and proposed."

  Additionally,Grassley  pointed out that there are other issues in the mix, one being the need for more transmission infrastructure ,which may potentially spark an even more controversial debate on transmission siting.
