P.O.W.E.R. Volunteers Get the Word Out During Memorial Day Weekend

During the three-day holiday weekend, hundreds of people learned about the nearshore wind power plant proposal that threatens the environment and economy of coastal West Michigan communities. More than a dozen volunteers staffed a table at the top of Pentwater’s Village Green each of the three days to answer questions, hand out fact sheets and explain P.O.W.E.R.’s opposition to the Aegir proposal.

Volunteers distributed more than 300 t-shirts and yards signs to a growing number of indviduals who understand the potential impacts of such industrial development in Lake Michigan. Hundreds of individuals also signed a statement supporting P.O.W.E.R.’s position on the issue.

Additionally, the P.O.W.E.R. Rally drew a capacity crowd to the upper level of the Antler Bar in Pentwater, where attendees listened to a presentation made by P.O.W.E.R. president Jeffrey R. Hoenle and Board member Jeff Hodges.

Similar events are being planned for other involved lakeshore communities.
