I went up to the Eagles game yesterday (great game, by the way). At halftime, they made an announcement that went largely uncheered by most except me. The Eagles will be buying 100% wind energy from now on, making them the first NFL team to go 100% on sustainable energy.
Their latest purchase of 14 million Kilowatt hours of wind power through Native Energy and McEnergy allows them to achieve their goal of running the NovaCare Complex training facility and Lincoln Financial Field on 100 percent clean energy all year long.
It is announcements like this one that will help legislators, investors and John Q. Public realize that Windpower is for real and is here to stay. Hopefully, this will help push even more customers towards Delaware’s off-shore windfarm. Go Eagles!
