Wind Farm Tour Friday, December 2 |
|
Wind Farm Tour Friday, December 2 The Canary Coalition in cooperation with TVA is holding its final 2005 tour of the pilot wind project at Buffalo Mountain, Tennessee on Friday, December 2. In the past this tour has attracted state legislators, county commissioners, state agency officials, local government officials and other community leaders. All have come away impressed with what they saw and learned. We expect this trip to do the same. In 2004 a group of Commissioners from Ashe County, NC attended one of our tours. Partially as a result of this experience, legislation was introduced in the NC General Assembly last year that would have permitted a pilot large-scale wind project in Ashe County. The bill has not yet passed, but efforts are continuing and the Canary Coalition tours are playing a key role. If you'd like to participate in this free tour email the Canary Coalition or call toll free 866-4CANARY (866-422-6279). For the report on a previous wind tour read this. |
