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, let the free market figure out the best solutions.
@VulcanMan6 2yrs2Y
The free market doesn't figure out the best solutions, that's the point...
@9W22XR912mos12MO
no, the wind power industry is so inefficient that its not worth investing until the work on the technology is more advanced
@9VLY2R61yr1Y
Wind power while useful is not sustainable or feasible. The US should await emerging energy technologies.
@9CWYV5JLibertarian2yrs2Y
No, not unless they can prove that they are more economical and safer than other forms of energy.
@9B38BLF3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if the proposed wind projects are evaluated as being relatively harmless to the area around them.
@98M6NPH3yrs3Y
Yes, and should do the same for other energy sources; so long as the government is not giving money to these industries.
@96PHZRY3yrs3Y
No, both wind power and solar power are inferior to multiple alternative forms of electricity both by environmental and efficiency standards and should therefore not be supported by the government.
@95J3FX23yrs3Y
No, wind power is ineffective and creates long-term waste problems. Only nuclear power should be incentivized
@8Y44Q5G4yrs4Y
Im 50 50 on that issue since i do yard work outside and the wind is annyoing unless its a hot *** summer day but in the fall its anoying
@8XBNBX64yrs4Y
No, energy infrastructure should be made a public utility. Wind power should still be supported as an alternative to fossil feuls.
@8TM7CVV4yrs4Y
Yes, but for tax credits only.
@8TBV9GWIndependent4yrs4Y
Yes, but add strict regulations as wind turbines are a growing hazard to bird and bat populations.
@8P32DQ85yrs5Y
The government should give tax credits to more businesses as a method of stimulating economic growth
@8CX4CJ45yrs5Y
No, but subsidize other, more sustainable renewable energy sources.
Yes, till we develop more nuclear plants (the best alternative and eco friendly energy source besides geothermal.)
@975V56P3yrs3Y
It would be better to fund nuclear power.
@8F3TJ7L5yrs5Y
Yes, but they should be lighter incentives than nuclear incentives.
