Anyone who has stopped by or enrolled in a clean energy program at one of Community Energy’s many community outreach tables may have noticed our miniature 1-foot model wind turbines made from pewter.  In the fall, the editors of Norwalk, Connecticut-based E, The Environmental Magazine, noticed our miniature model and thought one would make the perfect prop for their upcoming “Wind Power” issue.  Yes, that’s a model wind turbine courtesy of Community Energy on the cover of the January-February 2009 issue.

Cover stories of the issue include:

THE PROMISE OF WIND
The U.S. now leads the world in wind energy production, with incredible resources left to tap over land and sea. And a growing wind industry brings with it high-paying jobs, improved national security and a major reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. 
By Joe Provey

SIDEBAR: THE BIG PUSH
Greg Wetstone, the senior director for government and public affairs at the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), talks about the need for incentives and a smarter grid. By Joe Provey

The E WORD column WINDS OF CHANGE by Doug Moss talks about the potential of the US Wind Energy industry under the new Obama administration.

So hats off to our friends at E!  We’re glad to have taken part in your Wind Power issue.
