"Wind Industry Wins Key Victory in Senate"

"The wind energy industry won a key victory Tuesday in the Senate Finance Committee that extended an important tax credit for renewables.

The tax extenders bill, approved 23-3 in committee, now progresses to the full Senate, where it faces another round of votes. A companion bill also must advance in the House to extend the wind credits through next year.

The wind energy industry remains optimistic that it will clear both chambers, saying the wind credits receive bipartisan support in more than 70 percent of congressional districts where the wind industry thrives."

John Siciliano reports for the Washington Examiner July 21, 2015.
