<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.

<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 12, 2012) A company that wants to erect 48 wind turbines in the town of Clayton recently announced it would seek permitting through the state&apos;s Article X, not the town council.

It gives a state board the authority to green light new power plants, including wind farms, possibly over local objections.

<title>Assessing Spitzer&apos;s energy policy</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/9090/20070423/assessing-spitzer-apos-s-energy-policy</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 23, 2007) New wind farms in Clinton and Franklin counties will get state funding for generating renewable power for New York.  Noble Environmental Power’s wind turbines in the towns of Clinton, Ellenburg, Altona, and Chateaugay are among 21 renewable energy projects that will share $295 million under Governor Spitzer’s energy policy.  Spitzer unveiled the plan in a speech last week.  He said it would also reduce state electricity usage by 15% by 2015.  And it would also fast-track new power plants that emit low or no emissions, create jobs to retrofit buildings for energy conservation, and lower utility bills.  Environmental and business groups, including National Grid, applauded the announcement.  We turn to Ben Wiles for a closer look.  He’s a senior attorney with the Public Utility Law Project, which represents low income and rural residents on New York’s energy issues.  He told David Sommerstein Spitzer’s proposal is a departure from the former Pataki Administration.
