Looming Deadline for PTC Extension is Major Focus at Windpower 2012
4. Juni 2012
Now, many in the industry believe it’s unlikely the Republican-led House will support the wind industry with an August PTC extension. If anything, a deal would more likely come in the short window following the November election.

Tax committee considers PTC and other incentives
A House subcommittee heard expert testimony on how the continuous start-stop of the production tax credit stalls economic growth.
Bill Opalka | Jun 10, 2012 ... Rep. Pat Tiberi, Republican of Ohio, a PTC supporter and chair of the Subcommittee on Select Revenue Measures, said supporters in both parties are looking for an extension while addressing the long-term objections.
“We have a lot of bipartisan support for phasing out this tax credit over the next several years,” he said.
“Like decisions about spending, deciding whether to extend an expiring tax expenditure involves considering whether the benefit of the intended outcome is worth the effect on other programs or tax rates,” said James R. White, director of strategic issues for the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Those decisions are coming due as AWEA has said it is looking for legislative vehicles in which to extend the PTC this summer.

aber für die gute "Lobbyarbeit" gehört vestas ausdrücklich wohl auch mein Dank...
Vestas may have just provided the US wind industry with Exhibit "A" as it makes its case to Congress for extending the Production Tax Credit.
The Danish wind giant said it could cut up to 1,600 jobs in the US – roughly half of its current North American work force – if the PTC is allowed to expire on 31 December.
