The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) and the United Steelworkers (USW) today released a joint Framework Agreement to create a Partnership for Progress in accelerating the development and deployment of wind energy production in the U.S. In the coming days, AWEA and the USW will release a cooperative action agenda they intend to jointly pursue and advocate for adoption by Congress and the Obama Administration. That agenda will include policies such as a federal Renewable Electricity Standard and the extension of necessary tax incentives. The USWs Leo W. Gerard expanded on the Framework Agreement by explaining it has four components. First the agreement calls for an initial assessment of exactly where we are. On any journey, its vital that you know where youre starting from. Second, it calls for results-oriented targets that identify the destination. Third, to get us from here to there, it creates a partnership on a public policy agenda with the goal of enhancing the expansion of domestic supply chains and ensuring that we have the qualified and skilled workers we need. During the journey, it lastly calls for periodic assessments to ensure that the effort stays on track.
