AWEA Webinar: The Facts about Wind Energy’s Emissions Savings Thursday, September 2, 2010 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM EST   Exciting new studies and data indicate that the emissions savings from adding wind energy to the grid are even larger than had been commonly thought. States like Colorado and Texas have already seen significant reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide and other harmful pollutants as they have ramped up their use of wind energy in recent years, while detailed regional studies by the Department of Energy, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and independent grid operators have found similar emissions savings.   At the same time, and in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the fossil fuel industry has launched an increasingly desperate misinformation campaign to convince the American public that wind energy does not actually reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The webinar will show how data and studies from grid operators and government sources directly contradict these false attacks on wind energy. The webinar will also explain how wind energy interacts with the power system, as well as presenting data and other findings learned through Europe’s success with wind energy.   More background on the topics that will be covered can be found here: http://www.awea.org/newsroom/pdf/08-27-10-Wind_and_emissions_response.pdf Click here to register for this important webinar.   www.awea.org   Register Now AWEA Blog  AWEA News Become an AWEA Member Contact Us  WEBCAST DETAILS Thursday, September 2, 2010 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST AWEA EVENTS AWEA hosts a number of industry-focused events designed to heighten wind technology awareness and educate wind professional. ---> AWEA Events Schedule       Why Participate In AWEA Events? As the national trade association for the wind industry, the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) strives to create and deliver educational events that capture the energy of the rapidly expanding wind market and offer necessary opportunities for organizations to learn and network with fellow wind professionals. The revenue generated from AWEA events is used to advance the wind industry through policy analysis and promotion, to ensure wind industry interests are addressed in renewable energy legislation, to communicate the benefits of wind energy to all. ONLY AWEA puts your dollars to work advancing the wind energy industry.
