<b>Renewable vs. Sustainable Energy<br>

and Environment<br>

<i>How do we strike a balance between using today's extractable and
depleting resources and striving today to capture the promise of new and
more costly renewable energy technologies? If we continue to
embrace centralized power technologies, what must we assume regarding
benevolent governance and law enforcement, civil liberties and addressing
society's discontents that would threaten the common good? Dr. Kern
will take address the practical, theoretical and philosophical
differences between sustainable and renewable energy in the context of
sustainable development.<br><br>

<i>Windpower has become a billion dollar industry in the US, and yet New
England has almost entirely chosen imported fuels. Massachusetts’
only windpower installations are community owned. The Town of Hull
has received enormous attention for installing a single wind turbine
because the decision-making and ownership is community-based. The
adoption of wind energy in New England may depend on local decisions -
Europe’s leadership in wind is built on over 200,000 households that
invested in local wind turbines. (hullwind.org)<br><br>
