"Wind energy is going to be a very positive force to the economy of West Texas.  I am very proud to be working with the high-integrity group of executives at Tri Global Energy," says David R. Seim.

Due to the $7 billion plus investment by the state of Texas to complete development of electrical transmission lines in Texas by the end of 2013 and the excellent and sustainable wind resources available in the West Texas region, Tri Global Energy's projects will significantly boost the tax revenue in the communities where the wind farms exist in rural West Texas.  Local citizens and their communities will greatly benefit from the purchasing of renewable wind energy from these local sources.

John B. Billingsley, Chairman and CEO of Tri Global Energy, states, "David Seim is an exemplary citizen with whom we are very proud to be associated.  He is representative of the good things Tri Global Energy is bringing to West Texas."
