ENVIRONMENT - Wind Energy Technology Update

"For Wind Energy's Future, Researchers Look High in the Sky" PBS Newshour 12/5/2011

Excerpt

JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): We look at new technology used to harness powerful winds located high above the earth into usable energy.

Our report was produced by Christopher Bauer for the science program ‘Quest,' which airs on KQED San Francisco. The story is narrated by Andrea Kissack.

It is part of the series ‘NewsHour Connect,' which showcases public media reporting from around the nation.

ANDREA KISSACK: On a windswept tarmac at the former Naval Air Station in Alameda, California, an inventive group of scientists and engineers is testing the concept of a new clean energy technology.

With a changing climate and mounting energy challenges, the race is on to develop viable sources of alternative energy.
