Fiscal cliff deal included huge job creation program

[Willinois]

I see the usual hand-wringer pundits are doing their best to make the fiscal cliff deal look like another Obama sell-out. So, you may not have heard much about this very positive part of it that will create jobs in 2013.

Fiscal fiasco bright spot: 2013 will be a huge year for wind

The wind energy tax credit extension included in the deal will go toward projects that break ground in 2013, and no one knows if it will be extended beyond this year. That means there's a big incentive for companies to start new wind farms in 2013. More jobs will be created and it speeds up new clean energy projects. Two big wins!
