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.
