The WOW (Western Oregon Wind) filed with Operation Coquille for $2,000,000 to create regional energy independence and build a diversified, sustainable economic template for coastal communities that will be driven by a clean, renewable energy source. The WOW creates new jobs and saves existing jobs and will provide $2,000,000 additional revenue for local schools. Please send Congressman DeFazio a big thank you for supporting local schools and taking this request to committee.
