Scott Pruitt, the administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), says he would prefer to see the plug pulled early on the federal tax credit that support wind energy, as Congress gears up to overhaul the US tax code.
“I'm not in Congress and the state of Oklahoma has similar incentives, but I'd do away with these incentives that we give to the wind industry,” Pruitt said Monday at an event in Kentucky, a heavily conservative state with deep ties to the coal industry and no installed wind capacity.
