Knowledge Gaps and Power in Maine’s Offshore Wind Development
Large-scale development of offshore wind (OSW) is a relatively new field with a variety of knowledge gaps about its social and environmental impacts. These knowledge gaps create opportunities for obstructing policy development by entrenched interests. Based on research in Maine and preliminary results of ongoing research in California, Dr. Prakash Kashwan offers lessons for promoting policy development in the presence of competing interests and knowledge gaps. He concludes by reflecting on the implications of this research for OSW policy development on the West Coast. Kashwan is an Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at Brandeis University. Location: Scholars Lab (LIB 302), Cal Poly Humboldt campus.
