Wind developers around the country are racing to get their wind farms tested and running before the federal wind production tax credit expires Tuesday, a shot to the industry that will leave the nation’s wind farm construction projects at a standstill.
For Eddy Huffman, who’s worked assembling wind turbine controls at a General Electrics plant in Salem, Va., for more than a decade, it’s deja vu.
“Every time the tax credit expires, some of us have layoffs,” said Huffman, 62, who lives with his wife in Roanoke County. “We don’t have layoffs here locally this time, but that’s just our plant.”
