The Windmill on the Potomac to Rise March 11th

Draft Horse to Help Usher in New Energy Era in Southern Maryland

SWAN POINT, Md., March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The first residential wind turbine in
Southern Maryland will rise where the Potomac River meets Cuckold Creek near
Swan Point, MD about 60 miles southeast of the nation's capital.

A draft horse named "King" from a nearby farm will be hoisting the turbine
into place. "It's a symbol from one era to another. From horsepower to wind
power," says Sheryl Elliott who, along with her husband Ken Robinson, will be
inaugurating the first residential wind turbine on their property in Southern
Maryland on March 11, 2009 at 12 Noon, EDT.

"We are excited to have the opportunity to provide an alternative to
traditional means of generating electricity," Robinson says adding, "We hope
that by being the first, it will open the door for many in the region to do
something similar."

The state of Maryland supports the project; Ross Tyler, Director of Clean
Energy for Maryland says, "The Maryland Energy Administration is pleased that
this wind energy turbine is being raised to open a new way of life in Charles
County, and we hope this will provide an example to others throughout our
State." Tyler goes on to say, "This event marks yet another step towards
energy autonomy as we come together as One Maryland and embrace Governor
O'Malley's vision of a Smart, Green and Growing State."

Dr. Carlos Fernandez, owner of Potomac Wind Energy in Dickerson, MD who will
be installing the Skystream 3.7 wind turbine says, "The location of the
windmill on the Potomac is perhaps the most optimum location we have surveyed
in the DC metro area."

Elliott and Robinson received support for the project from nearby residents as
well as Maryland State Senator Thomas "Mac" Middleton. "Every kilowatt of
energy conserved through energy efficiency or produced through renewable
energy is one less kilowatt expended and less pollution to our environment,"
Middleton says in a prepared statement.

Also attending the ceremony will be 25 members of the Green Club from the
nearby Thomas L. Higdon Elementary School.
