• Wind Power New York DVD Production
  Trieste Associates helped with the production of New York Wind Power, a seventeen-minute documentary featuring testimonials from current neighbors of wind farms. Trieste provided the producer with key testimonials using their network of leading NY environmental organizations, health and wind experts, and most importantly residents that live near wind farms. This DVD explores the reality of living near a wind energy project and the benefits of wind power development. Support for this work was provided by Reunion Power, UPC Wind, AWS Truewind, Environmental Design and Research, and EverPower Renewables.
