Renewable Energy in Action: The Strauss Wind Farm Story, Part One
As an environmental lawyer, I often work on the conflicting interplay between development and protecting nature. Recently, I visited the Strauss Wind Farm in Santa Barbara County, California, with the Association of Women in Water, Energy, and Environment (AWWEE). This trip helped me learn about California’s first coastal wind farm and its impact on renewable energy and the environment. It also showed me how renewable energy projects connect with my work on issues like soil and water pollution, water quality, and hazardous waste management.
