Wind Power Helps Preserve Water Resources
Energy and water are very closely linked, but those links are often overlooked, according to Stacy Tellinghuisen, Western Resource Advocates’ senior energy and water policy analyst. Tellinghuisen works to promote energy policies that reduce the energy sector’s impact on water resources. Most forms of electricity require water, Tellinghuisen says, and thermal electric power plants use … Continue reading Wind Power Helps Preserve Water Resources
