Congress Has Enough Hot Air to Keep These Things Running Forever

While extending tax cuts to the middle class, Congress also spent $1.16 billion on tax incentives for wind power. It'll allow projects generating 2,000 megawatts to go forward. That's enough megawats to power a half million homes. Wind power is the cheapest form of power generation to set up and run. But utilities still claim they need the tax breaks to build the windfarms.
