House Should Let Wind Tax Credit Expire, 47 Republican Lawmakers Tell Leadership

摘要

Forty-seven House Republicans have written to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) urging the House to let the production tax credit for wind energy expire in December. The number of signatures on theletter, dated Sept. 21, is close to the number of Republican lawmakers who come from districts with strong wind energy resources, an energy analyst told BNA. This illustrates the division within the party as Congress prepares to consider the tax credit's future during a lame-duck session after the November elections.
