Wind Power Project Siting Workshop
February 14 - 15, 2008
Austin, TX

Daniel Stafford

The AWEA Wind Power Project Siting Workshop is just 1 week away! To register now, click here.

With wind power development expanding and with new participants entering the wind development business, this regionally-focused program will include presentations on emerging issues of project siting, such as how wind power projects affect, and don't affect, elements of the human and natural environment.

The workshop will include topics such as regulations, permits & guidelines; wildlife issues; radar and military impacts; hunting implications; and how to work effectively with local communities and manage opposition.
