Join the NC Chapter of the Sierra Club for a panel discussion about the opportunities and obstacles for development of offshore wind energy in the Tar Heel state. North Carolina has incredible wind potential, with better shallow-water wind resources than any other state on the Atlantic Coast – potentially 140 GW of total offshore wind capacity. On July 1, 2011, Governor Bev Perdue signed Executive Order No. 96, establishing North Carolina’s Offshore Wind Economic Development Task Force. What’s next?
First in Flight, First in Wind Forum – 7–9 p.m. Feb. 7 in Joslyn Hall at Carteret Community College.
