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, and the government should support more sustainable energy technologies including wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, and nuclear.
No, credits and subsidies need to made for solar and energy storage. Additionally used batteries from cars can be used for longer term storage of all renewable energy. Homes should be built with their own solar/wind/battery storage.
@9FMB7J22yrs2Y
Nationalize energy resources
@99BQB5L 2yrs2Y
no, more research should be done on wind farms overall environmental impact.
@9DD4XKN2yrs2Y
Subsidaries, yes, Tax Credits, no.
@95RSZXQIndependent3yrs3Y
Wind and other renewables are a good stop gap to 100% nuclear energy which is, itaelf, a good stop gap to fusion energy.
@94GXYW6Independent3yrs3Y
No, there are more efficient forms of renewable energy that should be funded instead
Yes, but more attention should be paid to solar, hydro, and nuclear energy.
@Azerah3yrs3Y
Nuclear should be the priority. However, when fusion becomes more readily available, that should be the priority
@92M2R2B3yrs3Y
Yes, but monitor and set a cap on how much individuals or corporations can profit from the subsidies and advocate and ensure consumers are seeing the benefit of these incentives.
Yes, the government should support more sustainable energy technologies. This should also include substantial public sector investment in renewable energy as well as research and development to fight the climate crisis; all critical research should be shared or worked on cooperatively with scientists and governments across the world.
@8Q94HKF5yrs5Y
Sustainable energy is best placed in the hands of the people who need it, NOT greenwashed corporations.
@8PZVNM6Progressive5yrs5Y
We should create new sources of clean energy
@8NWMBRB5yrs5Y
Yes, but they should lower the amount of money
All alternative power funds should be increased and redirected to Nuclear Energy
@8GNNHLR5yrs5Y
No, wind power interferes with the local ecosystems. I support the use of nuclear power instead.
@9D3F8XR2yrs2Y
No, because of the environmental damage. Although I do support using natural and renewable energy sources
@9CPPJXW2yrs2Y
No, they should be given to nuclear power and fusion R&D instead.
Yes, but also include subsidies and tax credits to Solar, Hydro, and Nuclear energy aswell as Wind
No, current wind power technology is not a very efficient form for alternative energy
Yes and No. the government should make investments to the renewable energy sector but just temporarily to introduce energy dependency on it. Then the companies should be regulated.
@93V2PZS3yrs3Y
Yes, but it should be nationalized
@8KP2K3C5yrs5Y
The government should be producing wind and other green energy sources and not using private corporations to do so.
Yes, but only tax credits since wind power has already been established as a valid and sustainable energy technology
Yes, subsidies but not tax credits.
Yes, but only tax credits since wind power is an established energy technology
@8P6PWZP5yrs5Y
Yes, and collectivize the industry.
@8P6PWZP5yrs5Y
Yes, and nationalize the industry.
Yes, but only tax credits since wind power has been established as a valid and sustainable energy technology
Yes, but only tax credits since wind power has already been established as a valid and sustainable energy technology.
No, increase investment into more reliable and sustainable alternative forms of energy such as nuclear, hydroelectric, thorium and geothermal.
