Wind for Schools: Fostering the Human Talent Supply Chain for a 20% Wind Energy Future (Poster)

Research output: NRELPoster

Abstract

As the United States dramatically expands wind energy deployment, the industry is challenged with developing a skilled workforce and addressing public resistance. Wind Powering America's Wind for Schools project addresses these issues by: 1) Developing Wind Application Centers (WACs) at universities; WAC students assist in implementing school wind turbines and participate in wind courses. 2)Installing small wind turbines at community 'host' schools. 3) Implementing teacher training with interactive curricula at each host school.
