You can help make a difference in powering the future with clean energy.
Urge your representatives to:

Support a Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS):
An RPS would require utilities to generate or purchase 15% clean, renewable energy, such as wind, by 2020. The long-term predictability of an RPS will spur economic development, lower consumer prices, strengthen U.S. energy security, and slow global warming.

Extend The Production Tax Credit (PTC):
Current law allows for an inflation-adjusted federal tax credit of 1.5 cents/kilowatt-hour for electricity produced from qualified wind energy facilities, but this tax credit is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2008. Short-term extensions in the past have created "boom and bust" cycles that deter investment in manufacturing facilities, which in turn drives up costs and causes shortages in the availability of equipment and components. A long-term PTC will ensure steady growth and a stable financial environment that will allow companies to continue producing clean energy and providing thousands of new jobs in the U.S.
