Wind power is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States. Across America, tall towers are sprouting up and tapping into a clean, renewable source of electrical energy for our nation. In the recent U.S. Department of Energy’s groundbreaking report, 20% Wind Energy by 2030: Increasing Wind Energy’s Contribution to U.S. Electricity Supply, a benchmark was established that challenges our nation to generate 20% of its electricity from wind by 2030.
Today, the U.S. leads the world in market expansion–shattering all previous records in 2007, by installing 5,244 megawatts of power.
With this rate of growth, there is little spare capacity in the supply chain–and plenty of opportunity for firms looking for new business. With a well-established base of manufacturers with the workforce, research, and technology to support heavy industry and wind turbine component manufacturing, supplying OEMs in the wind sector is an ideal growth market for manufacturing firms in the Tri-State region.
The Wind Supply Workshop will provide business solutions that will illuminate both the safe passages and the harboring shoals that could sink otherwise solid developments. This workshop is the place for major players to gather and advance wind development throughout the Tri-State region.
Reserve your seat today!
The Wind Supply Chain Workshop will take place on Thursday, September 16 from 7:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at The Centre. The cost is $75 for Chamber members and/or representatives from manufacturing enterprises, and $150 for non-Chamber members and non-manufacturing sector attendees. For just the luncheon, tickets are $40 or $80 for non-members.
To reserve a seat for this important workshop, please contact Carly Griffin, events manager, at 812.425.8147 or via e-mail at cgriffin@ccswin.com.
The Wind Supply Chain Workshop will be conducted by the Great Lakes Wind Network (GLWN). GLWN is a non-profit, industry-led organization of manufacturers and suppliers whose mission is to increase the domestic content of North America’s wind turbines and grow the supply chain for the industry.

Ellen Jacquart, Director of Stewardship for the Indiana Chapter of the Nature Conservancy, will provide a presentation entitled, “Fighting Back - MC-IRIS Takes on Invasive Species in Monroe County.” A group of concerned citizens has formed Monroe County - Identify and Reduce Invasive Species (MC-IRIS) and is working to reduce the environmental and economic impact of invasive species in our county through education and action. This presentation will address why invasive species are a problem, and which are the worst invasive species in Monroe County. Information on how to identify invasive species and how they are damaging our natural areas will be shared. Have a weed on your land you want identified? Bag it and bring it to Green Drinks to find out what it is, and options for how to control it.

Agriculture is an important component of Indiana’s economy and a way of life for many Hoosiers; however, modern industrial livestock operations are not the solution to Indiana’s economic woes. In fact, embracing these new agriculture practices may cause more harm than good in the long run.
The Hoosier Environmental Council is hosting a free webinar where you will learn about the environmental problems inherent in the normal practices of confinement livestock operations. We will discuss how CAFOs add to air and water pollution from their largely unregulated waste management practices.
Please join us August 5th.
