Abstract
Brief excerpt from interview: Something that I bring up is that often the strongest opponents of renewable energy projects are environmentalists . . . It's a strange coming together of things . . . So I say to my class, how do we address this? You're trying to set up a wind farm so that we don't burn fossil fuels, or putting wells 3,000 or 5,000 miles in the ocean and risking spills, how do we come to terms with this, when you’re fighting
environmentalists who are trying to stop renewable energy projects? I don't have any hard and fast answers, but it's good for discussion.
