Why has only one 50 MW wind farm been built in the San Diego area while there is a large wind technical potential of at least 1700 MW?  Scott
Debenham, a top wind expert in the region, will discuss his experiences attempting  to find sites for wind farms.  He has done much to characterize the large wind resources in the mountains of southeastern San Diego County, and will identify up to 20 potential wind farm sites.  Scott will also discuss storage options such as pumped hydro and compressed air storage.  Finally,  he'll challenge the local Sierra Club to keep its commitment three years ago to proactively identify preferred wind farm areas and work with wind developers.    Scott not only consults in wind farm development, he also facilitates solar thermal electric plant siting.  

Scott Debenham, will be our featured speaker for the program on Wednesday, July 9, 7- 9pm at the California Center for Sustainable Energy, 8690 Balboa Avenue, #100.
