Eno Fest petitioners seek windmill support

In this mention

Environmental and renewable energy groups, including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, staffed a booth at the Festival for the Eno to gather signatures on a petition supporting wind-power development in western North Carolina. The petition seeks to clarify the Mountain Ridge Protection Act to allow wind turbines in the mountains, with supporters arguing that wind energy is cost-competitive and nonpolluting compared to coal-fired plants. North Carolina residents will soon be able to purchase green electricity blocks that fund renewable energy projects including wind, solar, and biomass sources.
