MAF faculty member, David Bidwell, is spending his summer as a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies in Potsdam, Germany. His research will focus on public participation and renewable energy development, hoping to apply lessons to the rapidly expanding offshore wind energy industry in the U.S. According to legend, Frederick the Great was bothered by the noise produced by this wind mill near his summer palace in Potsdam and wanted it removed, proving that conflicts over wind energy are a recurrent issue.
