Renew Production Tax Credit for Alternative Energy

Featured Action: Tell Congress to Renew the Production Tax Credit Now! Congress is delaying renewing the Production Tax Credit, an important financing provision for wind energy. Every day of stalling means more American jobs are in jeopardy.  Could it be Big Oil & Gas that is persuading our electeds to do their bidding?? Tell Congress to support extending the Production Tax Credit, ensuring a job-creating industry continues to grow.

Global Warming, 1; Birds, 0

According to National Audubon, pollution, habitat destruction and now global warming are hitting birds hard. They have published a list of the top 10 endangered, the 10 Under 10,000,

A Few Under Pressure

• Piping Plover.  An endearing shorebird, with an estimated 8,000 individuals remaining in the wild. The majority of Piping Plovers winter in the Bahamas, a fact that scientists did not discover until 2011.
• Black Oystercatcher. This showy all-black Pacific shorebird has a bright red bill and red eyes, making them easy to spot. Population estimates hover around 8,900.  
• Kirtland’s Warbler. An adult Kirtland’s Warbler weighs less than half an ounce. Numbers fell as low as 200 birds in the late 1980s, but conservation efforts have helped the little songbird rebound to a still-precarious 2,800.  
• Gunnison Sage-Grouse. A dark and turkey-like grouse. Like the Greater Sage Grouse, males engage in memorably comedic courtship displays. Habitat loss has driven these birds to 2,000 to 5,000 individuals in Western Colorado.  
• Whooping Crane. America’s tallest bird. Fewer than 500 of these magnificent birds survive in the wild. Hunting drove the Whooping Cranes to the brink – in 1941 only 15 birds remained.
