Newspaper Reports On Officials’ Visit To Wind Power Site
The Bangor Daily News had a front-page story about a visit Monday to the Monhegan Island site where the UMaine-led DeepCwind consortium will deploy next year the country’s first deep-water wind turbine prototype. The group who visited the site included Habib Dagher, director of the AEWC Advanced Structures and Composites Center; Peter Jumars, director of UMaine’s School of Marine Sciences, other UMaine researchers and officials, and Christopher Hart, the U.S. Department of Energy’s offshore wind manager. Hart is the keynote speaker at this week’s EnergyOcean International 2011 conference in Portland.
