for wind turbines.at around 17 meters per second, a turbine can generate some 850 kilowatt hours. >> when the wind speed reaches 25 meters per second, the turbine automatically shuts down. that kind of wind is too strong for the equipment. >> that happens a few times a month -- more often in summer than winter. the east wind blows up here from the mediterranean sea about forty kilometers away. the wind farm went online in november, 20-11. its 140-megawatt capacity is about a quarter of what a small, coal-fired power plant can generate. spain and germany helped finance the project. renewable energy sources could supply a large part of morocco's power needs without greenhouse-gas emissions. >> demand for electricity is rising an average of seven percent a year. so morocco has to prvide an additional four to five hundred megawatts of production capacity per year. there's an enormous potential in wind and solar energy here, and making better use of it could take a lot of pressure off both the budget and the

melissa: but wind -- >> that is great deal tore consumers. melissa: wind is not cheap.t is 50% more. it is getting massive subsidy from the government been in place 20 years. if it is so cheap, if it is so cheap why are we subsidizing. if your point is correct, i'm not even yielding, if it is so cheap why in the world would you want a subsidy? let's get rid of the subsidy. >> first of all the number you're looking at is an old number. actually is lower than that. and. melissa: even better. definitely shouldn't have the subsidy. if it is even cheaper than that you don't for sure you need the subsidy. >> let me explain what happened. you made two statements let me respond to them. melissa: okay. >> the first one is the misperception that we've had this for 20 years. the only, in the last five years have we had the tax incentive. we only have one. that is only allows us to get a tax, keep more of our tax dollars when we're producing electricity. in the last five years we have been able to scale up from over only 20% of our manufactured parts here in the u.s. to now over, a

they mandate using solar or wind. that is from government telling producers and consumers what they have to use. you do not shine it up by saying clean energy future. it is not. guest: clearly there is a choice in terms of where we want to go. there is no doubt we will keep doing some drilling. we will need some coal and gas in the short term. it is about a vision, the vision of going to a new clean energy future. let's take the issue of pollution. the epa is doing a tremendous job of cutting pollution from power plants, coal plants in particular. a 90% reduction in mercury pollution. you cannot let industries run amok and trust them to keep the air and water clean. that is not the way it works. the government does have a role to play to protect the air and water, to stop the subsidies and create a clear playing field. that is the clear choice in november about half board. -- about a path forward. guest: ever been to increase the government has a role to play. the question is -- everyone agrees the government has a ro

the wind industry has already begun firing american workers because we have failed to extend the wind several years. this critical tax credit expires at the end of the year, and if we don't vote to extend it manufacturing facilities may shut down. thousands more americans will lose their jobs, and the negative economic ripple effect -- this isn't a positive ripple effect, mr. president. this is a negative ripple effect; it will be felt in communities all across our nation. now let me be clear in a further way. it's already happening. this isn't conjecture. in my home state of colorado, workers who had good-paying jobs in the wind industry just a month ago when i stood here no longer do. that's right. over 100 coloradoans were let go of their jobs in the colorado wind industry just in the last month, and there are more job losses projected to follow. that's sobering to all of us, mr. president. on a more upbeat note, i come to the floor to talk about the production tax credit and each time i've come to the floor i've focused on a particular state because there's good news all across ou

more of the wind energy development in republican districts is present. 81% of the wind energy developmentis in republican districts. so don't you think there could be bipartisan support for the production tax credit? >> there is in the senate -- senator grassley, senator moran and senator brown have been supportive. what is the production tax credit do for rural communities? it is a cash predictable every year. most of the wind blows in agricultural areas. we also have manufacturing states like yours in the midwest that are dying to regain a manufacturing footing and so again, i just -- this is -- beyond tone-deaf on the part of the romney campaign. let me say one other thing the wind industry doesn't expect to have the subsidy forever. they want it phased out. but it is a fledgling industry. it needs these incentives. they've been helpful in building our manufacturing base back to where we want it to be. >> jennifer: you personally have been testifying dozens of times on the senate floor about this. and do you think that in lame duck, it can get renewed? what's the likelihood of getting

when the wind gets howling that's trouble. right now the forecast for the winds -- not that strong. they will be there but will be light and relatively nice, ten, 15 miles an hour but not 35 and 40. the forecast inland, tomorrow, little bit warmer as i said. as you go into sunday and monday, 95 to 100. clearing 70s. bigger swell along the coast. rip currents on sunday. it'll get warm. lue want to swim but the rip current also be bad. mark will be in here this weekend. rosemary and they will track the heat. tomorrow these are the temperatures, sunday and monday. that's the real story when the temperatures heat up. to take away we aren't getting big winds and that's the thing. if it was a windy weekend it would be the worst case situation. like the oakland hills fire period when he had big winds, high heat and low humidity this will be big heat, low humidity but not big winds, i said that like five times but it's important to understand. you look at the five-day the wind is the deal. i will tell you when it's howling you have heat and humidity low humidity trouble we shouldn't get tho
