Senators To Hold Hearing March 14 On Windmills In Lake Erie

Senators Jane Earll (R-Erie) and Mary Jo White (R-Venango), Majority Chair of the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, will hold a hearing March 14 on the issue of locating windmills in Lake Erie.
            Several wind turbine developers have expressed interest in building windmills off Pennsylvania's portion of the Lake Erie coastline, leasing the rights for development from the Commonwealth.
            The hearing will begin with presentations from individuals representing various perspectives on the future of wind energy in general and include information on the prospect of windmills off the shore of Pennsylvania in Lake Erie. After the presentations, there will be an opportunity for Q & A.
            The hearing will be held at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center at the entrance of Presque Isle State Park in Erie and will begin at 9:30.
