USA - U.S. wind energy industry welcomes Rhode Island Governor Donald L. Carcieri as new Vice Chairman of Governors’ Wind Coalition
The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) today issued the following statement by AWEA CEO Denise Bode welcoming the expansion of the Governors’ Wind Energy Coalition and the nomination of Rhode Island Governor Donald L. Carcieri as the Coalition’s new vice chairman:
"The appointment of Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri as the new vice chairman of the Governors’ Wind Energy Coalition is a further step in the right direction. "The United States has a great diversity of wind resources, both on shore and off shore, in the Midwest, and on the coasts. Governor Carcieri, who leads a state with significant offshore wind, together with the Coalition’s chairman, Iowa Governor Chet Culver, will help the Coalition develop and advance the balanced policies needed to use all the nation’s wind resources, which will spur continued growth and job creation. We look forward to working with Governor Carcieri. "I also would like to thank Governor Culver for his leadership as the Coalition’s chairman. Wind energy would not be where it is today without Governor Culver’s dedication."
