Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, the leaders of the Governors’ Wind Energy Coalition, are once again urging Congress to revive the wind production tax credit — and to please do it this time well before December. In a letter calling for extensions of the PTC and the investment tax credit, Inslee and Branstad write that growth in renewable energy deployment and jobs “are at risk today because ongoing federal policy uncertainty continues to hamper the further development of the nation’s wind industry.”
