In 2009, the company launched the evolve product line which uses 25 percent less plastic and is made in a facility that is partially powered by windenergy.
Energy Management, a 28-year-old energy company based in New England, plans to build a 468-megawatt wind power facility off the coast of Massachusetts: the Cape Wind project.
