Mike Sawyers of the Cumberland Times-News reports on a recent panel discussion on the merits and drawbacks of wind power. Some familiar names were part of the panel discussion including David Friend of US Wind Power and Jon Boone of Garrett County. Eric Moore, a physics instructor at FSU and a PhD graduate from UMBC, also gave the objective view from the university's perspective. Dr. Moore's contention is that all options should be considered and the residents of western Maryland should think about local electricity generation and as well as sustainable living. I applaud Dr. Moore and the renewable energy team at FSU for their efforts.

Thank you for your comments. I was actually acting as a stand-in for others in the department who are far more qualified to discuss all aspects of renewable energy and sustainability. Although I did not push my position as passionately as the other panelists, I gained additionaly respect for the level of controversy regarding wind power in this region.
-Eric Moore
