Report supports wind energy

washington

U.S. manufacturing of wind turbines and components could create tens of thousands of jobs if the federal government passes long-term policies that create a stable market for the domestic wind-energy supply chain, according to a report released Monday.

The report, issued by the American Wind Energy Association, the BlueGreen Alliance and the United Steelworkers union, recommends the implementation of a federal renewable electricity standard of 25 percent by 2025, federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and government policies specifically “aimed at building the U.S. wind-energy manufacturing sector.”

The report recommends passing U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown’s IMPACT Act, which would create a revolving loan fund at the state level to help small- and medium-sized manufacturers retool for clean-energy markets and adopt energy-efficient manufacturing.

Gas prices rise

Gasoline prices continued to rise Monday as vacationers in RVs and campers join commuters on the roads during the peak summer-driving season.

Pump prices likely will increase over the next couple of weeks but fall short of $3 per gallon in most states. Analysts note that demand remains lackluster while supplies are ample. And consumers worried about the economy may keep traveling to a minimum.

The national average for retail gasoline prices rose 0.1 cent to $2.756 a gallon Monday, according to Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. That’s an increase of 11.3 cents from a year ago.
