About the webinar series:
Wind development offshore or in coastal areas brings with it a number of opportunities and challenges. Until these opportunities and challenges are fully explored and studied, wind development in these resource areas will continue to be plagued by unfounded citizen opinions not supported by good science. This will inhibit the potential for wind projects in these areas. The GLWC is convening a Wind and Waterfronts Webinar Series to explore three themes that bring opportunities and challenges for wind development in Great Lakes offshore and coastal areas:
- Brownfield opportunities for wind development
- Public perception of wind development
- Coastal changes from offshore and coastal wind development
