Advocates for Iowa's growing wind-power industry are warning Mitt Romney that his opposition to extending the wind production tax credit (PTC) will cost its state jobs if he gets elected.The issue poses a dilemma for the presumptive GOP nominee, who hopes to carry the swing state in November.Romney wants to get rid of the PTC, which pays wind-power producers 2.2 cents per kilowatt-hour. It is set to expire at the end of this year, though Romney staffers have not indicated whether he would let it end then or extend it for a little longer.A surrogate for Romney said last week that the candidate believes the credit has “probably outlived its usefulness,” but is still deciding how quickly it should be phased out, suggesting that Romney is open to a limited extension of the expiring incentive.“It’s really going to slow down the expansion of wind energy,” said Iowa Wind Energy Association executive director Harold Prior, according to the Des Moines Register. "This could mean the loss of several thousand jobs in the industry.”
they make such a big deal over the Iowa caucus's every year, and now they want to deny the state legislation costing those jobs they promised in 2010, are they ever going to make good on that one? are they stuck because of their demonizing alternative energy because the Pres. favored it? looks like their chickens are commig home to roost.
how long can they deny America it's path to a future prosperity before those on their side recognize "hey what's wrong with this picture?" will they do the correct thing and stop this runaway train the right wing has cut the brake line to?
