Blog Action Day 2009 - Climate Change



Today is Blog Action Day 2009 and the topic this year is "Climate Change."

I can't help but take this opportunity to share with you how proud I am to live in a town that has two beautiful windmills! Hull, Massachusetts has won the Department of Energy's Wind Power Pioneer Award which recognizes the town for its "outstanding leadership in advancing the use of wind power in a coastal community." I believe in the possibilities of cleaner energy sources and the long term benefits of developing and utilizing them. Check out the Hull Wind website at www.hullwind.org, which is owned and managed entirely by volunteers. It has some great links and information on wind power technology.
