Sustainable Energy - Can We Mke It Happen


This is a reminder that our first class meets Oct 15, at 9 am in Lewes. From the catalog:

"This workshop style class will address: “Can we supply the World’s energy needs in a sustainable way... one key aspect being zero net carbon emissions?” A primary reference will be David MacKay’s book, Sustainable Energy - without the hot air. In this book MacKay does the math (so we don’t have to) in addressing the feasibility of our many sustainable energy options. MacKay’s book is free on-line at http://www.withouthotair.com/ .  We will also stay tuned to recent activities in areas such as solar, wind, geothermal, biofuels, etc. See this blog for an ongoing review of sustainable energy technology, and related topics."

I am very much looking forward to your thoughts and ideas. At the first class I will hand out a schedule of upcoming specific class topics. Bill
