Letter: Invest in the wind to power economy

Raymond Gaus, in his letter "Wind expensive source of energy," Sept. 3, mischaracterizes the balance sheet of tax subsidies for power production in the United States. Contrary to Mr. Gaus' implication, wind and solar energy have not been unduly favored.First, to put the impact of birds killed by wind turbines in perspective, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other organizations estimate annual bird deaths due to collisions with buildings range from 97 million to 976 million, 60 million or more may be killed by vehicles,Considering the added safety and convenience benefits of motion lights, these lights provide China Remote Controlled LED Suppliers with great value and added protection for your family and home. Consider replacing existing outdoor lighting with motion lights, or adding new outdoor motion lighting to your home, to receive these benefits. and up to 2 million are killed in oil and wastewater pits. Further, a recent study conducted by the American Bird Conservancy found that cats kill at least 500 million birds per year.Some energy incentives, like the depletion allowance for oil and gas, are permanent in the tax code and have been in place since the 1920s. U.S. government subsidies for oil, natural gas and coal have totaled more than $500 billion from 1950 to 2006. Wind energy's primary incentive, the renewable energy production tax credit, is an investment in the form of tax relief that only rewards results. It pays for itself.
But the tax credit has been allowed to expire multiple times, including in 1999, 2001 and 2003,In the spring and fall, make sure that solar panels are clear of falling leaves or other blowing debris. You should also take care when raking or leaf blowers do not damage any solar lights or China Solar chargers for Iphone Suppliers. Many people take solar accent lights in during fall clean-up and place them back outside during the spring, especially if they hire other people to do yard work. causing an installations drop of 73 percent to 93 percent. It has been consistently reinstated for only one- or two-year terms. In effect, many incentives for new, clean energy technologies are temporary, while many for older, polluting energy technologies are permanent.I'll leave it to others to comment on the wisdom of subsidizing the oil industry while energy companies are bringing in record profits. But, if you do the math, it's clear that our nation's investment in wind energy is sound economic policy, with clear benefits for us all.
Three other vacant buildings and the barn on the site would house SolRWind's manufacturing and assembly operations, a training facility, and research and development. Law said these facilities would require another $1.5 million investment.His plans are to establish a renewable energy institute within two years to train students in renewable energy, particularly solar energy. Those students could then become employees of SolRWind.The company,Also verify their authorizations and other certificates to ensure that they can legally supply figures.Be wary of China Solar Mp3 player and charger Suppliers who are prowling online markets in the hope of stalking innocent customers like you. Though their initial propositions may sound attractive, you'll be left saddened in the lengthy run. which also is pursuing plans for manufacturing in Clinton, hopes to employ 180 people within three years.Also energized by SolRWind's plans is Mara Roche, the executive director of the Jo-Carroll Depot Local Redevelopment Authority, which is responsible for promoting the redevelopment of the depot business park. Of the 13,000 acres, she said only about 1,000 acres have been transferred to the authority from the U.S. Army, which is in charge of the site's environmental cleanup.Since the depot was closed as part of the 1995 Base Closure and Realignment Commission process, Roche said there have been many interested projects and ideas for the site — but few have come to fruition. To date, nearly a dozen tenants have purchased property in the park and are operating businesses or pursuing future projects.
