Message: From GoLocalProv by GoLocalProv News Team: Continuing his push for a deal that averts the damaging effects of the fiscal cliff, Congressman Jim Langevin (D-RI) is highlighting the consequences for clean energy jobs in Rhode Island and nationwide if a balanced agreement is not reached. Speaking on the House floor today, Langevin specifically pointed out that investments in wind energy would be slashed through the expiration of the Production Tax Credit at the end of the year and potentially through the impact of automatic across the board cuts, known as sequestration, on research and development. He joined fellow members of the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition to advocate that any budget deal must recognize the significant economic benefits of having a robust clean energy industry. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/new-langevin-warns-of-fiscal-cliff-impact-on-clean-energy-development
