" I am sitting next to a grill at the Power Vote Windmill tour's first ever tailgate party. Kassie and I have Vols Fan sippy cups. "It's exciting to have the windmill turbines out on game day," says Reagan. "Football is a huge tradition at UT. It's really great to have them out here and have a lot of conversations with a "non-traditional crowd." People might think UT football fans wouldn't care about clean, just energy but they DO. they're signing, they're pointing at the windmill and saying it's cool." Last night Reagan and the UT Power Vote crew were out in downtown Knoxville and everyone was so into it. So many people had already signed the pledge, had heard about in their classroom, and wanted to let us know how great they though it was. "The "UT is the cheese," says Andreas Bastias. "SPEAK (the campus group here at UT) has been a driving force at UT and is taking it to another level with Power Vote." So far, UT-Knoxville is rated number 2 nationally in Power Vote pledges with over 2,000 pledges. Sadly, the football team is not doing so well. "We're glad to be ranked in something this football season,"said Reagan. "The green revolution is exploding in Knoxville," added Laura England, another rockin' Power Vote student leader who was recently caught pledging through a chronic inflamed appendix. Knoxville is committed. Are you?
