Romney Campaign Skeptical of Obama's Wind Energy Agenda

According to a great piece in the Denver Post, the campaign of Mitt Romney has gone after what they call the Obama Administration’s "unhealthy" obsession with "green jobs.".  Mitt Romney goes after the Administration’s investment in solar manufacturer Solyndra and questions Obama's vision of a boom in employment from green jobs citing a European study to argue that new solar or wind-energy positions would destroy jobs elsewhere.  Some Republicans, however, are concerned about Romney’s opposition to the Production Tax Credit, a tax break for wind energy producers which will expire at the end of the year. Many Republicans are from states with huge wind resources.  For example, Congressman Latham, R-Iowa made note that 7,000 Iowans work in the wind industry and said the Romney campaign had "a lack of full understanding of how important the wind energy tax credit is for Iowa and our nation".
