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…

No, wind turbines do not generate enough energy to justify spending the money on them. Give the tax credits to hydro, solar or geothermal power industries instead.

On a limited basis if effectiveness is proven

We should focus on more efficient green energy sources. There are superior alternatives to wind energy.

No, wind turbines cost more money to build, install and maintain than they do generate energy. The Gov't should give tax credits and subsidies to other alternative energies like hydropower, solarpower, geothermal, natural gas, and so on.
@BestPoliticsIN4yrs4Y
Yes, but only when wind power makes up 10% or more of our power usage
