Bring Wind Power to NC!

North Carolina Congressional Delegation: Please support extending the Wind Energy Tax Credits before they expire at the end of the year.

Why is this important?

North Carolina has more potential for offshore wind than any Atlantic state. Combine that with our world-class research institutions and existing green energy incentives, and North Carolina can chart a clean energy future, with offshore wind at the forefront.

The first step in charting our future in offshore wind is for North Carolina’s leaders to support extending federal tax incentives vital for both onshore and offshore wind power production.

The coal and oil lobby is urging Congress to let these tax credits expire, which would mean the loss of 37,000 jobs along with increased pollution.

That is why Environment North Carolina is calling the state’s leaders to take advantage of North Carolina’s offshore wind potential by supporting extending the wind energy tax credit. It’s time to make history, again.
