Governors Press Congress For Wind Energy Reform

The Governors' Wind Energy Coalition, a group of 29 U.S. governors, recently released a list of recommendations for Congressional action to spur the development of the wind energy industry. Recommendations include a renewable electricity standard, funding for an interstate electric transmission system and an expansion of the Department of Energy's support for state programs. The group notes that these goals line up closely with the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, which passed in the House of Representatives last year and is now under review in the Senate.
