Wind Power

The new Wind Power program at NMCC is generating a lot of interest on campus and in the community. Wayne Kilcollins recently joined the NMCC faculty and is teaching classes this semester. Stop into the library and see the display of wind power books, handouts, and other wind technology related information.

We have asked Wayne Kilcollins to give a talk about wind energy on Earth Day, April 22nd. Further information regarding time and topic will be posted on this blog as we get closer to the date.

Read Governor Baldacci's recent announcement about a wind energy rebate.
