Tommywonk On Tour

Tommywonk On Tour
On Saturday afternoon, I will giving a talk as part of the Maryland Sierra Club's biannual jamboree near Annapolis. The topic will be the economics of renewable energy. Joining me will be Scott Donnelly from the Eastern Shore Sierra Club, who advocating for Maryland to get plugged into offshore wind power.

As I wrote last month, Maryland is early in the process of developing offshore wind. The Maryland Energy Administration has asked developers to express their interest and suggest how the procurement process might be organized.

From there, I will be heading to Lewes, where the University of Delaware is hosting Coast Day on Sunday at the Hugh R. Sharp Campus in Lewes. There will be exhibitions, lectures (including one by professor and wind power hero Jeremy Firestone) and a crab cake cookoff.

Sunday evening, I will be leading a discussion at a gathering of Dining with Progressives at Fish On restaurant just outside Lewes. The topic will be economics, energy and the environment. If you want to join the gathering, you can e-mail organizer Joanne Cabry at prog2009@aol.com.
