<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Trebuchet MS"><span style='font-size:

attend one of three WIND 101 forums on community land-based wind on Tuesday,
November 16 or Wednesday, November 17. These presentations will introduce
residents to the basics of the utility scale wind turbines now being considered
by many Cape towns. Forums will feature Sally Wright, a nationally recognized
expert in wind energy and Staff Engineer at the University of Massachusetts
Renewable Energy Research Laboratory (www.ceere.org). Sally has been working
with many of the communities around Massachusetts considering erecting their
own wind turbines including many Cape towns, and is very familiar with the
issues they are facing. On Tuesday, November 16, the presentation will be
offered at 2 pm at Eastham Town Hall and repeated at 7 pm in the Science
Building, Lecture Hall A at Cape Cod Community College in Hyannis. On
Wednesday, November 17, the presentation will be repeated in the cafeteria at the
Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical High School at 7 pm.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Trebuchet MS"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Almost every town on </span></font>Cape Cod is investigating the
potential of wind turbines to save taxpayer money, improve energy security, and
protect the environment and public health of their residents. Because modern
wind turbines are new to the Cape, any proposal is sure to raise some concerns
within a community. These forums are designed to answer the most commonly asked
questions about wind energy and dispel some of the most common myths. Ms.
Wright will cover economics, birds, sound and visual impacts, environmental
effects, and there will be time for an interactive question and answer period
with the audience as well. </p>
