What Can We Do For You?
We in the Western Maryland Group are volunteers, willing to help
our neighbors in a variety of ways. We are available to lead discussions to schools & groups
on environmental issues, lead outings, and provide expert advice to concerned citizens and the media.
Please don't hesitate to ask!
Wind Energy Program, December 4, 2007
What happens when an Industrial Wind Energy Plant is built on agriculture land in the Great Plains? Clean, renewable
energy - enough to power the United States.
What happens when an Industrial Wind Energy Plant is built on the ridges of Appalachia, where
ideal wind blows only 25% of the time? A taxpayer subsidized corporate give away, with no noticable dent
in greenhouse gas emissions. If Maryland is serious about climate change, it will focus on geothermal, tax rebates for
homeowners who install solar, off-shore wind, and most importantly, CONSERVATION!
Stay tuned for in-depth info on why Industrial Wind here is bad for Appalachia, bad for Climate Change,
and bad for Maryland. Industrial Wind belongs in the Great Plains and off-shore.
