Reconciling Baseload Power Generation with Renewables
Key Speaker: Ted Beatty,Vice President, Energy/Business Services, Energy Northwest, Richland WA
Mr. Beatty discusses the key role played by Energy Northwest in planning how an increasing amount of electricity produced by new intermittent (not always on) generation from renewable solar and wind energy can be delivered together with electricity produced by existing baseload (always on) generation from energy in fossil fuels and in nuclear fuel.

Wind Electricity - Fantasy & Reality
Key Speaker: Ian Woofenden, Author - Power from the Wind / Wind Power for Dummies, Guemes Island WA
In his presentation, Mr. Woofenden will separate myth from reality in the residential wind electricity industry, using examples from small wind collection projects funded by homeowners, farms and small businesses. He will explain the physics of wind energy and how home-scale wind power can provide a reasonable rate of financial return while using locally available, on-site energy.
