A very good thing for non gaming tribes especially.

If passed, this effort would encourage growth of CLEAN wind powered energy, plus it would also improve the financial well being of Native Amercian Tribes (a non-gambling source of revenue). Clearly this is a Win-Win situation.

There is NO reason why this should not be passed into law. Native American tribes (receive tax credit as other people do) have just as much right to own their own wind farms as anyone else. Pass this!

this is an outrage that this hasnt passed already. Greedy people in high positions need to share the wealth before they lose their positions of power. For the PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE!!! Those word ring a bell?
