ACT BOARD DRAFTS STATEMENT ON THE USE OF OFFSHORE WIND FARMS FOR CLEAN ENERGY

Wind Turbines On December 9, 2009 the Board of Directors of ACT approved a current Position Statement in support of the use of off shore wind farms as a means to generate cleaner, more sustainable, energy sources for the coastal watershed.

A committee of scientists and engineers sitting on the ACT Board of Directors spent the past year researching this issue and addressing concerns from Board members regarding the environmental impacts from off-shore wind farms. Several workshops were held and the result of the project is an official Position of Support by the ACT Board of Directors.
