Producer/Host: Ron Beard, University of Maine Cooperative Extension Studio Engineer: Amy Browne Topic: Maine’s Off-Shore Wind Demonstration Sites Why is Maine looking at offshore wind? What do we need to know in order to benefit from development of off shore wind? Why is the state proposing wind demonstration sites in Maine waters, and what would happen at these sites? How have impacts to fishermen, whales, seabirds and the environment been factored in? What are the four sites identified through this process, and what do we know about them? Guests: Kathleen Leyden, Maine Coastal Program; Jake Ward, University of Maine FMI: Dan Prichard, 22 State House Station, Augusta, 04333, 207-287-4919, www.maine.gov/doc The post Talk of the Towns 11/13/09 first appeared on WERU 89.9 FM Blue Hill, Maine Local News and Public Affairs Archives.
