Inhofe, Coburn again vote against wind power
The Edmond Sun
To the Editor:
Oklahoma’s two senators, along with 40 other Republicans, just voted against bill S. 3335, on July 30. Go to http://www.opencongress.org/roll_call/show/4940.
This bill would have extended the investment tax credits for installing solar energy and the production tax credits for building wind turbines and other energy efficiency systems.
In a time of increasingly higher energy costs in our country, they have voted to block some of the most promising solutions to our energy crisis. This is unconscionable.
Sen. Jim Inhofe and Sen. Tom Coburn are hurting our country and they are especially hurting Oklahoma’s budding wind power industry! This industry is poised to bring many new jobs and money to Oklahoma, which we need.
Sen. John McCain is not helping us either. In the eight times the bill has come to a vote this year, he has never once voted on it, yet he has pictures of wind turbines in his ads.
Oklahomans need to look at the candidate’s voting records before they go to the polls. We need to vote for people who will provide solutions, not just the same old status quo.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Inhofe faces Democrat state Sen. Andrew Rice and Independent Stephen P. Wallace in the Nov. 4 general election.
