The Feasibility of Renewable Energy March 26, 2008

The Pacific Northwest is a dynamic, growing region. How will we meet the increasing energy demand of our growing population –

* What alternatives are there?
* Conservation is one side of the equation, but what sort of new energy resources are going to meet the new demand?

A good part of our energy comes from hydro-electric sources

* How will global warming affect our snow pack and the resulting stream flows?
* What is the feasibility of wind, solar, or other renewable sources in meeting our needs?
* What is the cost/kWh for wind vs. PV?
* What about de-centralized power generation?
* Are “Green Tags”, or carbon offsets, a good idea?

Learn the answers to these questions and much more!
