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.Duration: 00:01:06Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United Statesplace-based writingwriting across the curriculumwriting in the disciplinesWriting Intensive coursesscholarship of teaching and learningwriting pedagogygeneral education requirementskind of learningpoliticspolitical discussionenvironmentalismenvironmentalistsanti-renewable energyfossil fuelspublic policyenvironmentalist oppositionecosystemsrenewable energyfossil fuelsocean deep drillingoil spillsInstructor interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences, clip 14 of 18Interview
