William & Mary Law School
Ronald H. Rosenberg, Professor of Law at the William & Mary Law School, will present the 2006-07 St. George Tucker Lecture on Tuesday, March 20, at 3:30 PM in room 119 of the Law School. His lecture is titled “Renewable Energy in America's Future - Is One Answer Blowing in the Wind? The Case for Wind Power.” The event is free and all are welcome.
Recent environmental, economic, and security developments have reawakened interest across the county in renewable forms of energy. In his lecture, Rosenberg will take an in-depth look at wind power as an alternative source of electricity. While wind power offers the advantages of zero fuel costs and zero green house gas and other air emissions, says Rosenberg, there are also potentially negative features that must be considered. In his presentation he will discuss the pros and cons of wind power development and also will explore the importance of renewable forms of energy in America’s future energy mix.
