With rising energy prices and concerns about the impacts that fossil fuels have on human health, national security, and climate change, alternative energy sources are getting a close look these days. One of these alternatives is wind power. The University of Delaware is studying whether coastal winds might be harnessed to supply the energy needs of its Hugh R. Sharp Campus in Lewes. If so, wind power might someday provide the campus with cheap, clean energy and help conserve our valuable natural resources for future generations. The study also will provide useful research data for scientists and the public. For more information, visit ocean.udel.edu. This is SeaTalk, a public service announcement from the University of Delaware, the Delaware Sea Grant College Program, and this station.
