Danish wind power expert at Cape College Wednesday

Will address controversies surrounding offshore wind farm

This Weednesday, Agust 30 at 7pm the Cape Cod Community College will host a short Presentation by Jens Larsen, Director of the Copenhagen Environment and Energy Office and project manager for Denmark’s Middelgrunden offshore wind project.

A panel discussion and question and answer session will follow the presentation. The panel discussion is a part of Greenpeace’s clean energy tour of the Cape and Islands this summer highlighting the impacts of global warming and discussing real world experience with offshore wind projects. Denmark has nearly the same population as the state of Massachusetts, about twice the land area, and more than 900 times the installed wind power capacity.

Who will speak:

Jens Larson, Director of the Copenhagen Environment and Energy Office and project manager for Denmark’s Middelgrunden offshore wind project. The author of several publications, Larson has served as the project manager on numerous wind energy projects and as a renewable energy advisor. He is also a member of the International Advisory Panel of Experts on Marine Ecology.

Jack Clarke, Director of Public Policy and Government Relations for Mass Audubon. Clarke previously served with the Governor’s Environmental Affairs Office; the U.S. National Park Service, and as an advisor to the first Bush Administration on off-shore oil and gas drilling.

Richard Elrick, Nantucket Sound ferryboat captain of 25 years; attorney and former 3-term Barnstable town councilor. He is the President of Clean Power Now and also serves as the Vice-President of the Cape & Islands Self-Reliance Corp., a non-profit that promotes environmentally sound technologies and sustainable practices.

This event is free and open to the public.
