Wind energy was the source of about 9.2% of total U.S. electricity generation and about 46% of electricity generation from renewable energy in 2021. Wind turbines convert wind energy into electricity. President Biden’s 2021 $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan included a 10 year extension of wind and solar tax credits. Qualifying wind farms will receive tax benefits based on their output for a 10-year period. The credits, which can be shared with investment partners, reduce federal tax bills. Opponents to wind farms, including many environmental biologists argue that they are one of the…

Yes, but only and explicitly in areas where it is extremely effective, and not in places where alternatives such as solar, natural gas, nuclear, and hydro are much better.
No, the government shouldn't need to credit companies for making decisions that are good for the environment
@9HG2B65Independent1yr1Y
The wind power is worse then every other form of alternative energy, give tax credits to other sustainable, but not wind power.
@862WY6V 2yrs2Y
Depends on the effectiveness of the wind powered technology and whether it is truly environmentally friendly. This sector of energy has a lot if room to grow.
@9FPM6WJ2yrs2Y
No, current wind power technology is bad for the environment. Changes wind and ocean currents
@939BFHTLibertarian3yrs3Y
No, if the industry is unable to sustain itself then it is not worth the energy output.
Subsidies but not tax credits, because wind is an inferior alternative to nuclear power
@8YPT92F3yrs3Y
Yes, but also nuclear, and have the tax subsidies end in five years.
@8V978XS4yrs4Y
Regardless, the government needs to decrease taxes for all corporations and remove existing loopholes and deductions...
@8SYX5MPLibertarian4yrs4Y
No, if any type of energy should get subsidies it should be nuclear.
@8QYN2TT4yrs4Y
Only give subsidies to for nuclear power
@8MMG3X85yrs5Y
No, the government should focus more on nuclear for the time being, at least until renewable sources become more advanced.
@8G3P4JS5yrs5Y
Yes, but also to the nuclear power industry as renewables are not enough to meet our energy demand.
@8CZNHBV5yrs5Y
Yes and end all subsidies to oil companies. The government should support more sustainable energy technologies.
@9C8NDGPLibertarian2yrs2Y
No, but taxes should be lowered on private institutions that produce such technologies
@98DSCR72yrs2Y
No, but give subsidies to the nuclear power industry.
@97VY8LQ3yrs3Y
There are more efficient alternatives to clean energy that leaves a smaller ecological foot print thatn wind turbines.
@97KKLKS3yrs3Y
Yes, give credits to renewable energy only
@97HBPRVNatural Law3yrs3Y
No; unproven, unreliable and very costly to maintain. Bring forth the FREE energy that comes from the Aether. This knowledge is more than 150 years old. The energy grid system was created by Edison, who was a fraud and stole Tesla's work, for profit. The government and their controllers have hidden this technology from us yet use it for their underground bases for well over a century
