Wind turbine backers blast bill

In this mention

Wind energy industry leaders, including Stephen Smith of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, criticized Senator Lamar Alexander's proposed legislation to limit federal subsidies for wind power and restrict wind turbine construction near scenic areas. The bill would deny production tax credits for wind turbines built within 20 miles of national parks, military facilities, or historic areas, and would allow local governments to block construction. Industry advocates argue the measure would devastate Tennessee's emerging wind sector and cost thousands of jobs.
