In other updates, Good magazine also published an article entitled, "Air Supply: If You Believe the Future of Energy is Offshore Drilling, Think Again" by Brentin Mock.* [issue 14 January/February 2009, page 41]
*not to be confused with Air Supply, the band and their sappy hit, "The Power of Love (You Are My Lady)," which is so cheesy it makes me burst into convulsive giggles every time I am subjected to it. Their other single,"Making Love Out of Nothing At All" provokes the same kind of reaction.
All kidding aside, Mr (?) Mock produced an excellent piece on five states who are utilizing alternate energy sources, specifically wind turbines, to fill their needs. These states included:
Rhode Island, who is using Deepwater Wind,
Delaware, who is in cahoots with Bluewater Wind,
New Jersey, who hired Garden State Offshore Energy and PSEG Renewable Generation,
Oregon and Principle Power are seeking alternate solutions,
and Texas and a Mr. T. Boone Pickens, an environmentally-conscious billionaire.
There was no mention of Verdant Power, who are based out of Virginia and are seeking to tap into the tidal energy in the East River between Queens and Roosevelt Island.
For a refresher on what Verdant Power is up to, see my blog posting on September 5th, 2008 "Change is in the Air- Literally!"
