announce a strategic partnership with Terra Moya Aqua (TMA) Global Wind Energy Systems--

creating less visual pollution; no interference with aircraft navigation from magnetic field
interference; quieter in operation; and no bird or bat casualties.

The LEED Green Building Rating System is a third-party certification program administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, a Washington D.C.-based, nonprofit coalition of building industry leaders and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.
"Our partnership with GH Phipps will enable TMA’s leading edge technology in wind turbine energy to be a solution addressing global warming concerns, ever-increasing costs of fossil fuels,and the ability to integrate the TMA technology into existing and re-powered wind farms to increase the energy output," said Ronald J. Taylor, Founder and Chairman of Terra Moya Aqua.
