End Wind Welfare

What is the PTC?

Congress enacted the Wind Production Tax Credit (PTC) in 1992 as a temporary measure for an “infant” industry. After propping up the wind industry for more than two decades, the PTC should be eliminated. Subsidized wind power increases electricity costs, harms taxpayers, and destabilizes the electric grid. It is most beneficial to wealthy wind developers who are able to reduce their tax rate at the expense of the rest of the taxpayers and ratepayers. It is past time to end corporate welfare for the mature wind industry.
