Call to Action: Senator: Extension of the Renewable Energy Production Tax Credit is Important to Our Local Economy

Pass this on to your contacts!

The U.S. Senate is currently working on tax legislation intended to pass before the end of this year, so we are asking you to contact your Senators right away to urge them to include the renewable energy production tax credit (PTC) extension in any tax bill that moves forward this month.

With the uncertainty of the future of the renewable energy production tax credit (PTC), businesses are hesitant to plan future US wind projects, American manufacturers have seen a drop in orders, and layoffs have already started. For the purposes of the American wind industry manufacturing sector, the PTC effectively expires at the end of this year. To preserve tens of thousands of good-paying manufacturing jobs, we need to come together immediately to make our message crystal clear to the US Senate: we urgently need Congress to take action to extend the renewable energy production tax credit (PTC) before the end of this calendar year.

Just copy this message into the form that the link below will provide for your Senators.

Senator, Renewable wind energy is critical to our local and state economy and an energy secure future in North America. Please support the extension of the Renewable Energy Production Tax Credit

Please let us know that you have contacted your Senators. Send an email to duffy.hinkle@portstoplains.com.
