RENEWABLE ENERGY IN DELAWARE NEEDS YOUR HELP!
You may have read about the successful passage of HCR38 in the State House. It asks the CONTROLLER GENERAL to VOTE YES for the DELMARVA POWER/BLUEWATER WIND contract! This is a great step forward. However, renewable energy in Delaware STILL needs your support and action!
Please call your SENATOR and let them know you hope they will follow the house's example and move quickly to order the Controller General to move forward with off-shore wind for Delaware!
Your voice must be counted!
Call your State Senators 
and tell them you want a YES vote on HCR38 as amended in the House for the offshore wind farm. The House passed it April 10, 2008.
If you click on the names in this list you'll be referred to the senator's page on the state website.
