National Wind Watch: Eric Rosenbloom and David Roberson

Eric Rosenbloom is a science writer and editor. In 2001 Eric and family moved from New York to northeastern Vermont, where he founded his own company, Kirby Mountain Composition & Graphics.  Eric has been involved since 2003 when he learned that there were plans to erect wind turbines on the ridge behind his house.  At first, he was a cautious supporter of the development but as he learned more his opinion shifted.  In 2005, he started up the excellent site aweo.org, which he continues to maintain and where you can find much of his writing on the subject of IWT. 

 

David Roberson,  is a galleryowner in Shelburne Falls, MA.  David lived off the grid for 12 years in Hawley, Massachusetts before moving to Rowe, MA where he lives with his "wife, dogs, cats, goats, geese, and chickens."

In  2003, his seminal article, Questioning the Faith of Wind Power, was published. The article broke new ground and argued cogently against the rush to wind without rigorous analysis, and should be required reading for all those interested in these issues.   In 2005, David organized the first gathering of interstate wind opponents, a weekend-long conference with participants from 10 states.
