In a recent interview with E&E TV’s Monica Trauzzi, the American Wind Energy Association’s (AWEA) Rob Gramlich discussed the effects that EPA’s new regulations on carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants would have on wind energy. Quickly the discussion turned to AWEA’s favorite subsidy, the wind Production Tax Credit (PTC), the wind industry’s 2.3 cents per kWh handout from the American taxpayer. The PTC expired at the end of 2013, but AWEA is making an all-out effort to convince Congress to renew the wind PTC.
