"A Pragmatic Approach to Climate Change" was the topic of last night's Michigan Energy Forum. You can view this at http://www.annarborusa.org/events/event-videos/michigan-energy-videos by clicking on the box next to the title.
Dr Pollack has a good presentation with well designed visuals. He knows how to create a slide with simplicity to get his point across. Too many of the presenters at these forums don't provide good slides.
I had trouble playing this video, but my connection is slow.
Stanley Pruss also had a good presentation and indicated how well wind power is working for Michigan.
Not discussed last evening was the manufacturing industry in Michigan for making parts for wind turbines. One company near Lansing has a milling machine about 100 ft long for machining the molds for turbine blades. This same company has a three station CNC machine to machine the housing for the turbine gear box. Across the street from the machine shop a foundry is being built to cast the gear box housing. This little local group can have a substantial influence on the cost of wind power.
