Nuclear Industry Lobbies to Preserve Tax Credit, Opposes Similar Wind Incentive

摘要

The nuclear industry is lobbying to preserve and modify a tax credit that could be worth billions of dollars when new nuclear reactors under construction are placed in service amidst efforts by Republicans to end energy subsidies and an upcoming tax reform process that could place the tax incentive at risk. The industry's effort to keep the nuclear production tax credit is leading to criticism as companies such as Exelon Corp. ask Congress not to reinstate a similar tax credit received by the wind energy industry.
