Anti-Wind Measure Voted Down by U.S. Senate

Senate lawmakers voted 63-32 against the innocuously-named “Environmentally Responsible Wind Power Act of 2005″ trumpeted by U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Sen. John Warner (R-Va.) The item could have been rolled into the broad energy bill currently under consideration in Congress and it would have had immediate and devastating effects on the U.S. wind power industry, according to industry sources.
