Wind power deadline sees US firms rush to build turbines
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-20857530US energy companies are racing to install wind turbines before a federal tax credit expires at the end of this year.
Experts say that wind power has exceeded the construction of natural gas plants in recent months.
However the financial incentive for wind could be lost as congress struggles to avoid financial deadlock.
Even if the credit is extended it is expected that new installations will decline in 2013.
