Something Old, Something New: Other Energy Possibilities

By Laura Knoy on Thursday, May 21, 2009.

Tidal Power, hydroelectricity, geothermal energy and landfill gas: energy pioneers are exploring many new ways to create electricity. They’re looking at harnessing the power of our rivers and dams, our ocean tides, the heat deep below the earth and the methane breakdown in huge trash dumps. We'll look at new fuels that could possibly feed New Hampshire’s grid in the future and old ways that are getting a second look.

Guest

  • John Rogers, senior energy analyst for the Clean Energy Program for the Union Concerned Scientists

We'll also hear from

  • Ken Baldwin, professor of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering and Director for the Center of Ocean Engineering at the University of New Hampshire; he was also the co-chair of the New Hampshire Tidal Energy Commission and co-edited the report on tidal energy possibilities in the state
  • Mark Weisflog, owner of KW Management in Nashua that installs geothermal heating units
  • Paul Chamberlin, Assistant Vice President for Energy and Campus Development at the University of New Hampshire who oversaw UNH's Landfill Gas Pipeline Project, ECOline
  • Bob Gundersen, Hydro manager for PSNH, which operates the Smith Hydroelectric Plant in Berlin
