ERIN AILWORTH’S article on the growth of wind power in New England points to the economic power of clean energy — power that can only be harnessed nationally if Congress passes legislation that nurtures the growth of renewable power by implementing a fee on carbon-based energy sources (“Winds of change,” Business, Nov. 14).
By factoring in the actual costs of fossil fuels in a way that protects energy consumers, the energy industry will have a market-based incentive to increase investment in wind, solar, and other forms of clean power, building a foundation for a revived American middle class in the process.
