and nuclear energy we should be investing in renewable, clean energy, conservation and upgrading our national power grid, creating thousands of middle class wage jobs in the U.S. The Union of Concerned Scientist offers the chance for you to tell your Senators to renew the tax credit for wind energy projects, just click the link, and if you are unsure what to tell your Senators here's my letter to my Senators, Tim Kaine D VA & Mark Warner D VA.....
I am proud of the fact that our nation is now home to enough wind energy to power more than 15 million homes.
Wind energy is delivering on its promise to enhance energy security and power economic growth. Nearly 75 percent of wind turbine equipment installed in the United States is made in America, and the wind energy industry employs more than 80,000 Americans full time.
More good paying American jobs will be created once the PTC is extended, more than would be realized from the keystone xl and from continuing tax credits and subsidies for dirty fossil fuels and nuclear energy. We know our future lies with clean, renewable energy as well as investing in conservation and upgrading our national energy grid to be safer and more energy efficient.
You need to find the courage to stand up to the fossil fuel and nuclear industries and end their federal tax breaks and subsidies. Our future depends on your voting for extending the PTC for wind power and American people support this program. I am a member of the Sen Elizabeth Warren wing of Bold Progressives of the Democratic Party and I will remember your vote on this issue.
The Union of Concerned Scientists puts rigorous, independent science to work to solve our planet's most pressing problems. Joining with citizens across the country, we combine technical analysis and effective advocacy to create innovative, practical solutions for a healthy, safe, and sustainable future. | ||||||
