Senator Chuck Grassley says the production tax credit for wind is working and should be part of the effort in Washington to help get more Americans working. Nationally, the wind energy industry supports 75,000 jobs. The production tax credit was created to try to level the playing field with coal-fired and nuclear electricity generation. It expires on December 31, and Grassley said an extension should be part of any year-end agreement in Washington to extend expiring tax policies.
