The Eastern Interconnection States' Planning Council (EISPC) Energy Zones Mapping Tool is a free online tool that enables users to identify potential clean energy resource areas within the Eastern Transmission Interconnection. The tool includes nine types of energy resources to be considered for clean energy generation facilities in the U.S. portion of the Eastern Interconnection. These types are biomass, clean coal technologies with carbon capture and sequestration, geothermal, natural gas, nuclear, solar (photovoltaic and concentrated solar thermal, as well as rooftop photovoltaic solar), storage (pumped-hydro storage and compressed-air energy storage), water (hydroelectric power), and wind (both land-based and offshore). For each of these major categories, the resource data and information have been compiled, reviewed, and assembled into a GIS database. The Mapping Tool provides a way to put environmental data into the hands of energy planners and can be used by agencies or NGOs as a starting point for a dialog about their conservation objectives.

Twice yearly, above the Appalachian Mountains in central and western Pennsylvania, a rarely witnessed winged
migration takes place. Hundreds of eastern golden eagles – majestic raptors with wingspans that can exceed seven
feet -- traverse the state to their winter and summer territories, passing above the mountain ridges through what
preliminary research shows to be an unchanging 30-60 mile wide corridor of
air space. The eagles’ flight path overlaps with land areas that hold significant
potential for wind power development in Pennsylvania, setting these majestic
birds on a potential collision course with fast-moving turbine blades. In the
hope of avoiding such a scenario, a team of researchers at the National
Aviary and Powdermill Avian Research Center, the biological research
station of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, has come together to
track and map the birds’ movements.
