To cap off Wind Energy Week here, I’ve got an interview with Tom Gray, the Communications Director for the American Wind Energy Association for your listening pleasure. We covered a wide range of topics such as the need for transmission lines, the question of public input on wind projects, the effect of wind farms on birds, and the future of renewable energy in general. The interview is here, as always in MP3 format. Give it a spin and let me know what you think.
(Note to David S. – I did not as the question about HB1200, because Tom Gray was not in a position to answer it, as he is a national guy and not a Texas guy.)
Finally, here’s the Day 4 newsletter from the WindPower 2008 conference, which has wrapped up its business for this year. If you prefer more visual stuff, try their Flickr or YouTube pages. They’ll be in Minneapolis next year, for anyone reading this who may be living out that way.
Kuff: Thanks for thinking of me. I hope you can find some Texas wind guys to ask about their lack of support for public education.
