Luncheon: Dr. Carsten Hein Westergaard Phd. 1994 at the Danish Technical University, started his career in wind technology as an aerodynamics blade designer and is currently the Director of Global Technology for VESTAS, the world's largest supplier of wind turbines. He works with University collaborations and The WindAlliance.org. We can design the turbines using all of our knowledge from civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering to deliever a cost efficient energy that can compete with other energy sources. The goal of the US is to have 20% of the electrical energy generated by wind.
