Abstract
This Note explores the weaknesses that the recession has exposed
in the United States’ current renewable energy tax policy and
evaluates the 111th Congress’ legislative response to those
weaknesses. In doing so, this Note looks at the major U.S. renewable
energy tax policies of the last thirty years and investigates the effects of those federal policies on the wind energy industry. The focus on
wind is not an endorsement to pursue wind energy over all other
forms of renewable energy; rather, it is meant as a case study on how
federal tax policy has effected one industry and how it can better
encourage growth in that industry.
