So far not too many have asked for the wind power logos, but we think it’s important for the environment.

Phoenix Press of New Haven, CT owns a Northwind 100kw wind turbine (being built in Vermont now), and it will be installed on-site in Winter '09-'10. Phoenix Press will be producing its own power, enough each year to offset $40,000 of electricity usage, or about 1/3 of its annual usage. Because Connecticut has the highest electrical rates of all 50 US states, this investment into an ON-SITE turbine is significant. Phoenix Press is located at the mouth of the Quinnipiac and Mill Rivers, at New Haven Harbor, the 3rd busiest harbor in New England. The turbine will be seen by the 125,000 daily drivers on I-95 and will not contribute to the region's most polluted air. It's one thing to say "we get 100% of our power from wind" yet quite another to say "we produce renewable energy WITH A TURBINE WE OWN AND OPERATE." Phoenix Press will NOT sell its RECs, and has tentative plans to offer a recharging station for employee-owned electric cars at the base of the turbine. 100% wind power should not be the goal. It should, however be the goal to produce renewable energy AT THE POINT OF USE, to minimize transmission losses and claims of "I use renewable energy" from casual REC-purchasers. It's like someone saying "I drink only water from aquifers." But if that water is pumped out of the ground of an ISLAND, say, FIJI, then shipped by cargo ship to Mainland USA, then trucked across to NYC, how efficient is that process? Renewable Energy Credits, or “permission to pollute while paying a premium for electricity” is one step in the right direction, but is also one step backwards… which doesn’t really mean anything in the long run.
