<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21179/20130103/fiscal-cliff-deal-brings-good-news-for-wind-industry</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 3, 2013) As part of its &quot;fiscal cliff&quot; deal, the U.S. Congress agreed earlier this week in Washington, D.C., to extend production tax credits for wind energy producers until the end of 2013.In 2012, wind projects could only qualify for the production tax credit if they&apos;d finished construction and started producing energy. But this year, projects will be eligible for the tax break simply by starting construction. They don&apos;t have to be finished by the end of the year.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15534/20100420/municipal-power-advocates-try-to-seal-the-deal-in-albany</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 20, 2010) A bill that would allow two dozen towns in St. Lawrence and Franklin counties to form a municipal power company is getting closer to passage.  And local leaders are taking a bus to Albany today to try to push it over the finish line.  The bill to create the North Country Power Authority is the product of a decade of work by the Alliance for Municipal Power.  The bill has already passed the Senate.  After clearing a key committee in the Assembly yesterday, it’s now one committee away from a floor vote.  Supporters believe it will pass.  David Sommerstein reports.

<title>Commentary: Wind Power A Necessary Evil &amp; Symbol of Hope</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/5369/20050307/commentary-wind-power-a-necessary-evil-amp-symbol-of-hope</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 7, 2005) If wind power projects go forward in the North Country, they will change the visual landscape for some of the most pristine areas in the Adirondack Park.  Author and activist Bill McKibben spends much of each year wandering the hills and back roads near his home in Johnsburg.  McKibben says the massive windmills are a necessary evil and a symbol of hope for a world threatened by global warming.  Bill McKibben is author of the End of Nature and a new book due out this spring called Wandering Home about his his trek through the Champlain Valley.  He divides his time between Johnsburg, in the Adirondacks, and Middlebury, Vermont.  His essay first appeared in the New York Times.
