Contact Congress: Extend the Production Tax Credit for wind electricity
The current Production Tax Credit of 2.2¢ per kilowatt/hour of wind electricity expires at the end of the year, December 31, 2012. Please
Contact Congressional representatives (House and Senate) to support a long-term extension of the Production Tax Credit for wind
electricity. This is important to provide consistency and market certainty that the wind industry needs for continued growth.
Help ASAP get the message to Congress by e-mailing your Congressional representatives.
Thank you for e-mailing both your U.S. Senators and U.S. House Representative.

Dear Congressperson,
I call upon the U.S. Congress to pass a longterm extension of the Production Tax Credit for wind electricity.
1) The current Production Tax Credit of 2.2¢ per kilowatt/hour of wind electricity has brought the cost of electricity from wind power to a point
where it is broadly competitive with natural gas, making renewable energy more widely available and sustaining a significant number of jobs in manufacturing, installation and maintenance.
2) A longterm extension is important to provide consistency and market certainty that the wind industry needs for continued growth.
Thank you for acting on this important issue to help build a strong, energy secure America!

Explanation of why this page works as it does:
Members of Congress take their e-mail seriously, but they need to know it was generated by a real person and not by a computer program. That
is why it usually is necessary to contact them through their websites.
We've provided an area to compose your message and links to the appropriate sites to assist you as much as possible with this process.
