Government

Median Wind is working closely with government agencies to build clean renewable sources of energy. Here are some of the resources involved:

U.S. Department of Energy

To help meet America's increasing energy needs while protecting our Nation's energy security and environment, the U.S. Department of Energy's Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program is working with wind industry partners to develop clean, domestic, innovative wind energy technologies that can compete with conventional fuel sources.

H.R.2454 - American Clean Energy And Security Act of 2009

To create clean energy jobs, achieve energy independence, reduce global warming pollution and transition to a clean energy economy.

H.R. 1 - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act)

The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need. It includes $16.8 Billion for energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Smart Grid Funding

The White House

So we have a choice to make. We can remain one of the world's leading importers of foreign oil, or we can make the investments that would allow us to become the world's leading exporter of renewable energy. We can let climate change continue to go unchecked, or we can help stop it. We can let the jobs of tomorrow be created abroad, or we can create those jobs right here in America and lay the foundation for lasting prosperity. -President Obama, March 19, 2009

The bill provides DOE with the funding and responsibilities to help lift our country out of an economic recession through strategic investments in technologies that increase energy efficiency, expand renewable generation, improve electric transmission, reduce our dependence on oil, accelerate transformational sciences, reduce our legacy footprint, and lower greenhouse gas emissions—investments that will create and protect jobs that will energize our economy.

20% Wind Energy by 2030

Wind power is capable of becoming a major contributor to America’s electricity supply over the next three decades, according to a report by the U.S. Department of Energy. The groundbreaking report, 20% Wind Energy by 2030: Increasing Wind Energy’s Contribution to U.S. Electricity Supply, looks closely at one scenario for reaching 20% wind energy by 2030 and contrasts it to a scenario of no new U.S. wind power capacity.

U.S. Department of Transportation

Median Wind is working with the Department of Transportation to establish optimal highway sites and placement of the wind turbine power generation system.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Median Wind is working with the NHTSA to ensure the safety of wind turbines mounted on the highway median. Median Wind turbines have been crash tested and proven safe, even when hit by a heavy truck at high speed.

Environmental Protection Agency

EPA's Climate Change Site offers comprehensive information on the issue of climate change in a way that is accessible and meaningful to all parts of society – communities, individuals, business, states and localities, and governments.

Union of Concerned Scientists

Reducing oil dependence. Strengthening energy security. Creating jobs. Tackling global warming. Addressing air pollution. Improving our health. The United States has many reasons to make the transition to a clean energy economy. What we need is a comprehensive set of smart policies to jump-start this transition without delay and maximize the benefits to our environment and economy. Climate 2030: A National Blueprint for a Clean Energy Economy answers that need.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

The Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change is the leading body for the assessment of climate change, established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic consequences.

Open Congress

Find every publicly available piece of federal legislation, committee reports, votes, and more about the topic of Energy. Open Congress is a non-profit web resource with a mission to make Congress more transparent and to encourage civic engagement.

American Wind Energy Association

AWEA is a national trade association representing wind power project developers, equipment suppliers, services providers, parts manufacturers, utilities, researchers, and others involved in the wind industry - one of the world's fastest growing energy industries. AWEA staff work with Congress to ensure that wind industry interests are addressed in renewable energy legislation. Members of Congress and their staff come to AWEA for information on how legislative proposals would affect their constituents.

Smart Grid Central

The world's electric power infrastructure is undergoing a massive modernization. The resulting transformation will advantage those who get it right... and disadvantage those who get started late or head down a dead end. Smart Grid Central is your one-stop clearinghouse to the resources, tools, and insights that will keep you ahead. Knowledge is power too.
