Northeast Wind internship description
My internship with Northeast Wind this spring
2011 was basically a supervised research project. I spent time both in the
office as well as on my own researching wind related media in Vermont,
analyzing it, and drawing conclusions. The goal of my project was to determine
which media sources are producing biased or slanted views of wind energy events
in Vermont and to pay attention to the publicÕs responses to these media. In
addition to my research project, I attended a brainstorming meeting in
Montpelier with several representatives from various alternative energy
companies in Vermont. The meeting was organized and conducted by Bernie
Saunders. I also went to the Searsburg wind farm and to help give a tour.
Attending the meeting, touring Searsburg, and spending time in the office at
Northeast Wind in Waterbury Center, Vermont proved to be a very valuable
experience for me.
