Wind Energy Legislation Information:
There are now two Small Wind Investment Tax Credit bills in Congress; one in the House (H.R. 1772), and one in the Senate (S. 673) that would provide consumers a tax credit when purchasing small wind turbines for their homes, farms, or small businesses.

To become law, these bills must show a broad range of support from Members of Congress.  Having your members of Congress add their names to these bills as co-sponsors is one of the best ways to build this support.
