Oklahoma lawmakers are set to consider cutting wind tax credits as they look for a way to bring more money into the state.

The Tulsa World reports that a consulting group has made recommendations to the state's Incentive Evaluation Commission on several business incentives, including the zero-emissions tax credit, which applies to power generation facilities that don't generate emissions.

The Tax Commission says the tax credit cost the state $59 million in 2014, the last year of available data.
