Federal tax credits available to non-utility projects are essential to the survival of wind-energy industries, according to industry spokesmen, who point to 1983 sales of 10,500 wind generators to investors taking advantage of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) incentives for small power producers. Most sales are to California's wind farms because of additional state incentives. Cuts in federal support limit the development of the very large wind turbines that would attract direct investment by utilities. Feasibility studies give mixed reviews for wind power because of wind availability and economic constraints. 9 references (DCK)
