Wind Farm near Lyman, Wyoming

The United Steelworkers, BlueGreen Alliance and American Wind Energy Association jointly released a report this week outlining their vision for a  national long range plan to create tens of thousands of additional jobs in wind energy.  The report,  titled “Winds of Change: A Manufacturing Blueprint for the Wind Industry,” acknowledges the significant growth in wind energy but states that growth could be significantly greater with responsive, long-term incentives and policies in place.  The authors of the report strongly advocate that Congress take decisive action to attract the investment needed for long-term wind industry growth and jobs creation.
