Wind Today - Q2 2008 - (Page 4)

Editor’s Note Houston, We’re on Our Way Are the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) and the city of Houston, TX ready for the more than 8,000 people expected to attend WINDPOWER 2008? You bet they are. To help you prepare for the June 1-4 event, we’ve provided some information about Houston (page 6) and special events offered during the WINDPOWER 2008 conference (page 8), as well as a schedule of the 55 conference sessions (page 51) to help you decide the most productive use of your time. Be sure to stop by our booth (No. 2455). Lauren, Deb, Jeff, and I are looking forward to seeing you. New Web Look New Web Site Look Have you noticed our redesigned web site? Go to www.windtoday.net to see the new look and to view the online version of Wind Today. As you look through the magazine, you can update yourself with industry facts and figures by checking out the articles Global Wind Plant Ownership (page 12), Top 15 States with Wind Energy Installed (page 14), Ranking the Percentage of State Electricity from Wind (page 16), The Largest U.S. Wind Farms (page 18), and Owners with the Most U.S. Wind Power Assets (page 20). As you notice in these listings, Texas is a major player in the U.S. wind industry. You can read about Governor Rick Perry’s views and goals for wind energy in Texas on page 22. We’ve featured some new and newly repowered facilities in this issue of Wind Today. Read about Missouri’s first wind farms—Bluegrass Ridge, Cow Branch, Conception, and Loess Hills—starting on page 24. The Loess Hills Wind Farm (page 30) produces enough electricity to offset the power needs for the whole town of Rock Port, MO. From my April trip to California, we feature Six Wind Turbines Doing the Work of Ninety (page 36) at the enXco V Wind Farm and its repower project.
