Maryland Health Care Workers: Please Show Your Support for Life-Saving Wind Power On February 14th in Annapolis
Studies show Gov. Martin O’Malley’s wind power bill would save more than 600 lives and over $3.5 billion in avoided health costs related to dirty coal power
Dear health care workers,
It’s literally a matter of life and death. Studies show that more than 600 men, women and children would be rescued from premature death if Gov. Martin O’Malley’s offshore wind power bill passes in the state’s General Assembly this year. Wind power would also save over $3.5 billion in wrenching health-care costs related to coal-fired electricity.
Won’t you come to Annapolis February 14th at 11:00 am and show your support for cleaner air and healthier children through renewable wind power? RSVP to Max at 410-366-1637 or mobuszewski at verizon.net.
How does wind power save lives? Currently our state gets nearly 60 percent of its electricity from the combustion of dirty, lung-damaging coal. Every wind turbine we build off the Atlantic coast of Maryland means that huge amounts of coal will NOT be burned every day to keep our lights on.
Governor O’Malley’s bill – SB 237 – would incentivize the construction of a 450 megawatt wind farm ten miles off the coast of Ocean City (about 100 wind turbines). Data from Boston University’s School of Public Health show that one moderate-sized wind farm of this nature would have huge positive impacts on human health in our state.
Won’t you come to Annapolis February 14th at 11:00 am and show your support for cleaner air and healthier children through renewable wind power? We need your respected voice right now.
Recent polling shows that, after job creation, Maryland voters support investments in wind power primarily because of concerns about air pollution from dirty energy. Now is your chance, as a health professional, to help advance a clean-energy agenda in our state.

Many thanks for all that you do! Hope to see you on February 14th! Wear a stethoscope, a lab coat, or scrubs if you can. We’ll have buttons and signs.
Kagiso,
Max
