GOP Hopeful Newt Gingrich on Wind Energy at Iowa Straw Poll

GOP presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, and Thaddeus McCotter joined Iowa's leading Republicans and hundreds of straw poll voters in covering a 130-foot wind turbine blade with signatures at the entrance to the Iowa straw poll.
After signing the blade, Gingrich called wind a piece of hisAmerican energy program, and said he favors a 10-year extension of the PTC, to avoid the "up-and-down effect" on renewable energy development when the policy changes. "If you're going to have tax credits that are designed to create investment, they have to have a long enough time horizon that people who invest believe that they'll be there," Gingrich said.

The entire Republican debate is a wonderful and FREE infomercial to re-elect the only "grown-up" on the ballot.
