Building Community Support for RenewablesMaine, United States [RenewableEnergyWorld.com] Public opposition is a formidable hurdle for any project developer. Around one quarter of all wind projects in the U.S. are delayed or stopped because concerns over project siting and general distrust of the developer. In this podcast, we'll look at a couple elements for success that companies and communities need to think about when building out a project. Dear Listeners -- While the written companion article for each episode of the Inside Renewable Energy podcast remains below, the associated audio files have necessarily been removed. We apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate the support you gave to our podcast production.
Thank you, Maria Stefanovich, a PhD candidate at Oregon State University, talks about her research examining public opinion of wave energy in Oregon. She'll highlight the importance of economic factors in determining support for a project. Adison Ames (above, middle), a lobster fisherman and board member of the local electric cooperative, describes the history of the project and the process of community engagement that made the wind farm successful.
