Wind Power: Hot air or energy of the future?

Mon 8/13 @ 6:30pm

Let’s talk science… over a beer. Join the next Science Cafe Cleveland for a chat on wind power. Iwan Alexander, PhD, will talk about “offshore wind (including the Great Lakes), its relevance, barriers to implementation and its role now and in the future relative to conventional fuels for electrical power – coal, natural gas and nuclear.”

Should be interesting, no?
