Bluewater Talk

On Wednesday a spokesman from Bluewater addressed the issues and actions of his company, the one who is in charge of the projects we have been discussing. Overall, I was impressed by his presentation and what the company was doing. The previous class discussions had answered many of the issues surronding wind power today. The most remarkable item I found was how far we are behind in windpower compared to Europe. In the video he showed, Denmark's view of windpowere was extrremely different and supportive. The wind turbines were built adjacent to the city and were clearly visible. This would never last in the US which highlights the difference in perception. Also, the most limiting factor which I gathered was that economics can determine more of the direction of windpower than anything else. Yet, there are 10 projects planned and hopefully they can be successful. I live in a region in which they are building a project and I personally support its use.
