Offshore Wind Program, Nov 19, 2012

Our program with guest speaker Professor Jeremy Firestone from the University of Delaware College of Earth, Ocean and the Environment, originally scheduled for Oct 29, has been moved to Nov 19 because of Hurricane Sandy. Time 9 am.
 
"Professor Firestone will provide background information on the offshore wind power resource and the wind power technology before examining the near-term (by 2020) prospects for offshore wind power in the United States, with emphasis on the Atlantic coast.  He will discuss market and nonmarket (social, environmental and regulatory) barriers to and opportunities for offshore wind."
