Dana Nelson of Orsted and Dave Wilson of US Wind will speak on the development of wind energy here on the Eastern Shore, the research that supports it, and the results we can expect. 

Bring your questions and get factual answers. RSVP here and let's learn together. 

Speaking of the research that has gone into this development, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which functions under the direction of the U. S. Department of the Interior, has released its Maryland Offshore Wind Draft Environmental Impact Statement that is a critical step toward this renewable energy revolution. 

You can read it for yourself here.

Four public hearings on the issue are scheduled for October:

• Thursday, Oct. 19, 1-5 p.m.  Virtual – registration required
• Tuesday, Oct. 24, 5-9 p.m. Ocean City Elementary School on Center Drive in West Ocean City
• Thursday, Oct. 26, 5-9 p.m. Indian River High School in Dagsboro, DE
• Monday, Oct. 30, 5-9 p.m. Virtual – registration required

You can register for the virtual sessions here. No registration is required for the in-person sessions.

It is important that we who live on the Lower Eastern Shore be well-informed about renewable energy generally and wind energy specifically, so grab a beverage and make yourself comfortable while you gather the information you need in the comfort of your own home or office.

RSVP here for one of the most important webinars we will ever host. We hope to see you there.

Thanks for all you do for the environment,
