Follow on Google News | Milton Financials: U.S. wind energy sector posts worst quarter since 2007.Investors shied away for the wind energy industry as Congress failed to pass a renewable power mandate-AWEA.
The U.S. Senate has, up to this point , been unable to get a national renewable energy mandate passed which would see power utilities required to generate a minimum amount of energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar. Milton Financials was informed that Senator Jeff Bingaman, the democrat who has taken the lead in trying to get the Renewable Electricity Standard passed believes that there is increasing support for such legislation. Europe and China, which already have renewable energy policies, are, according to AWEA, expected to lead the $35 billion in investment for 2010, an amount almost four times more than what has been invested in the U.S. "U.S. wind energy can again lead the world," Denise Bode, AWEA's chief executive told Milton Financials. "But if federal policymakers do not act quickly to provide investment certainty ... the U.S. wind industry will stall out." # # # Milton Financials is a dedicated, independent broker providing the market insight and investment advice that corporate, institutional and private clients trust.
