The document discusses wind power potential in Massachusetts and the eastern US. It finds that Massachusetts has an onshore wind capacity potential of just 1 GW, which could provide an average of only 5% of the state's electricity due to wind's low capacity factor. Developing this resource would require constructing around 33 large wind farm projects across the state's mountain ridges. However, utility-scale wind development faces issues including environmental impacts, impacts on tourism and property values, high costs, and questions around how much it could actually contribute to reducing emissions regionally and nationally. The document examines these issues in further detail.
The document provides an overview of the Scottish Government's first annual update to its 2020 Routemap for Renewable Energy in Scotland. It identifies several key issues with the update, including that it is not supported by a proper environmental assessment and may not be lawful. It also argues that the update consistently conceals the true magnitude of the costs of implementing renewable targets and assumes development of technologies and electricity markets that do not currently exist. The overview criticizes the update for misleading claims about the costs faced by consumers and failing to adequately acknowledge issues like the costs of managing intermittent renewable generation and reinforcing transmission infrastructure.
The Minister for the Environment has presented an overly optimistic view of the impact of noise from wind turbines on neighbors. The noise limits are not as strict as claimed and a larger percentage of neighbors will likely experience annoyance from the noise than acknowledged. While the Minister stated only 4-11% of neighbors would be annoyed, when considering different levels of annoyance both indoors and outdoors, the percentage of annoyed neighbors is actually much higher, around 22-42%. The noise limits also may not be properly enforced and exceeded at times. Overall, the reality of the impact on neighbors is greater than the picture painted by the Minister.
The document discusses how wind turbine development in Scotland is damaging rural tourism. It notes that while Scotland was granted UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status in 2012 to promote sustainable development and tourism, the large number of wind turbines being built may undermine these goals. Specifically, it states that the Scottish government has approved over 50GW of wind farm capacity across 39 onshore wind projects and has another 10 overhead line applications in progress. However, the rapid growth of wind turbines is harming Scotland's landscapes and tourism industry, which is worth millions to the economy. Surveys also suggest that 20% of tourists dislike wind farms and so their spending is at risk of being lost.

The document is the transcript of a Senate committee hearing on a bill related to noise from wind farms. It includes an introduction by the chair and opening statements from two witnesses:
1) Dr. Christopher Hanning, a retired sleep medicine consultant, stated that industrial wind turbines disturb sleep and health at greater distances and noise levels than currently permitted standards. He said setback distances need to be increased, especially for larger turbines.
2) Professor Alec Salt, an ear specialist, said that while low frequency sound from wind turbines may not be heard, the inner ear can still respond to low frequencies at levels below what is heard. He argued this contradicts assumptions that inaudible low frequencies cannot affect people.
This document discusses the socioeconomic implications of open design and post-industrialization. It notes that more people now have the skills and knowledge to participate in the design process through open design movements. This shift is changing how people shape and experience the world, and is beneficial for professional designers. The document explores open design from its origins to current drivers to future potential impacts. It aims to help people understand and position themselves regarding this phenomenon, whether they are enthusiasts, professionals or business leaders. Case studies illustrate open design approaches from projects like RepRap to applications like prosthetic leg designs.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

3. Comments made during the
presentation:
• I was a strong advocate of utility-scale wind and other
renewables in New Mexico, and expected to support
some level of utility scale wind development in the
Northeast prior to studying the issue of wind in this
region in detail.
• I also believe that very aggressive action to reduce
emissions and mitigate climate change is needed.
• Given that I am a strong advocate of renewables, I will
not address the larger debate of renewables versus
other non-renewable energy approaches such as
nuclear power and clean coal in this presentation.
2
4. An issue of:
• Which renewable energy sources have real potential to
mitigate climate change?
• What environmental and societal impacts from energy
generation are acceptable?
• What are the costs? Where should we invest our
money?
Bottom line:
• Which renewable energy sources, and when?
• Which conservation measures, and when?
Failure to get this right potentially endangers everything
3
6. • I will be focusing mainly on wind and solar in this
presentation, because I do not believe that small wind,
small hydro, or biomass-fired generation represent
significant renewable electricity options for the Eastern US,
simply because of their very small resource potentials.
• The next slide shows a good source for estimates of what
the Department of Energy (specifically the National
Renewable Energy Laboratory) considers as the maximum
amount of commercially viable (strong enough resource),
onshore generation that could be installed. Note that
“Installed capacity” doesn’t refer to existing capacity, but
rather potential installed capacity.
5
8. Factoring in the “Capacity Factor”
• Capacity Factor specifies how much actual energy
will be produced relative to peak capacity:
Energy Actually Produced in a Year
CF
Energy Produced if at Peak Capacity for a Year
• Not the same as “conversion efficiency”
– CF measures Intermittency
• Even if one accepts that wind generation can be
integrated effectively (CO2 reductions realized),
the low CF of wind means 3-4 times the amount
of ridgeline per unit capacity relative to
conventional generation.
7
9. • The following slide shows that there is legitimate
literature suggesting that utilities are having
significant problems at the present time with fully
achieving potential greenhouse gas emission
reductions with wind power due to integration
issues.
• While I do not consider this a fundamental issue,
it may at least bear on where public funds for
emission reductions should be concentrated in
the near future.

11. Effective Onshore Wind Power Capacity
in Massachusetts
• NREL data applies to CF=.3
• NREL Estimates onshore MA Peak Capacity = 1 GW
• Effective Wind Capacity: .3*1 GW = .3 GW
• Current average MA consumption = 6 GW (average)
• 54 million MWh/year
– http://www.eia.gov/cneaf/electricity/st_profiles/massachusetts.html
– (54,000,000 MWh / 8760 hours) =~6000 MW (average)
• Potential average onshore wind penetration:
(.3 GW/6 GW) x 100% = 5%
10
12. Number of “Mountain Systems” Required
• 1 GW of Peak Capacity in MA
• = 333 Three MW turbines
• 5 turbines/mile
• ~70 miles of ridge, not counting access roads
• 10 turbines/project on average:
• ~33 Mountain Systems
11
14. Question:
• Is it worth developing 33 mountain systems in
MA to provide just 5% of MA electricity?
– Environmental impacts?
– Impact on people?
– Impacts on the local economy?
– Cost relative to alternatives?
– Despite impacts, would this still be “doing our
part” to encourage significant regional wind
development?
13
15. • The following two slides visually illustrate the
impact of developing 1000 MW of ridge line wind
generation in MA.
• The slides after this illustrate the impacts from a
closer perspective.
• Note that fairly wide and fully developed road
beds and wide, level clearings (of roughly equal
area to the swept area of the rotors) are needed
for this type of development, due to the
enormous weight and length of the trucks and
their loads involved. Extensive blasting and
bulldozing of the mountaintop is required, which
incurs extensive impacts to streams, wetlands,
bedrock, and of course plant and animal life.

41. • The impacts to ecotourism (meaning economic benefits in
general related to the scenic beauty of the area) are
potentially endangered by ridgeline wind development.
• Many people genuinely feel the experience of seeing a
project the first few times to be enjoyable, which is
understandable given what these projects represent to
them, the sheer scale of the turbines, and the novelty of
the experience.
• It’s a different question entirely whether people will like to
vacation or maintain second homes in an area in the long
run with extensive ridge line wind development. The study
referenced on the following slides shows that, for example,
vacationers in Vermont greatly value the unspoiled nature
of the state.
40
42. Vermont Brand Study
• Commissioned by the Vermont State
Department of Tourism
• This study thoroughly surveyed the attitudes
of nearly 1000 people who vacation in
Vermont
• Available at:

41
48. • The following slide shows that although the
impact of low-frequency noise from wind
turbines is not fully understood in physiological
terms, there is peer-reviewed research indicating
that low-frequency noise can couple physically to
the cochlea.
• There are also a growing body of literature
suggesting that impacts to health are occurring,
in particular impacts associated with loss of
sleep.
47
49. Noise and Health
Low-frequency noise, including “infrasonic” noise,
from wind turbines may in fact be affecting the health
of people in the near vicinity of turbines:

50. • The following slide shows the “spectrum” of
wind turbine noise. The graph shows that
wind turbines created prodigious levels of
infrasonic (subsonic) noise, which places them
in a somewhat different category from many
other noise sources.
• Unfortunately, set-backs for wind projects
today do not yet take into account potential
impacts due to infrasonic noise.
49
51. ”The noise generated by wind turbines is rather
unusual, containing high levels (over 90 dB SPL) of
very low frequency sound (infrasound).

53. Human Hearing is Logarithmic
• Quietest sound we can hear: 1 trillionth of a watt
per square meter.
• Our ears are super-sensitive vibration sensors
• It potentially doesn’t take a great deal of noise to
create problems.
• Even though many do live in noisy environments
already, this does not imply that noise is not a
problem, and that it’s perfectly ok to increase
noise in the few remaining quiet regions left.
52
54. • There are serious issues with respect to the impact on
species such as birds and bats.
• While its true that large numbers of birds are killed by
other means, this does not imply that killing more with
wind turbines is acceptable. Moreover, the number of
birds and bats killed by turbines could potentially rise
to very significant levels if significant levels of wind
generation is eventually installed. The number of birds
and bats killed by wind turbines currently may be
statistically insignificant, but the amount of wind
power generation is also currently essentially
statistically insignificant.
53
55. Getting Serious:
• Is the sacrifice still worth it, despite the
impacts?
• Perhaps we would be still be saving the planet
from global warming?
• Let’s see how much of a contribution onshore
wind power in the Eastern US could really
accomplish.

58. Total for Onshore Eastern Wind Resources
• As estimated by DOE (unlisted states have little or
no potential), in peak gigawatts (GW):
– New York: 25.6 GW
– Maine : 11.3 GW
– Pennsylvania: 3.3 GW
– Vermont: 2.9 GW
– New Hampshire: 2.1 GW
– Virginia: 1.8 GW
– West Virginia: 1.9 GW
– Maryland: 1.5 GW
– MA: 1.0 GW
• Total: 52 GW (50% in NY)
59. Iowa vs. Massachusetts (approximately to scale)
Iowa has a huge, two-dimensional high-average-wind-speed wind resource.
MA has a small, essentially one-dimensional wind resource. This resource is also
located mainly in environmentally sensitive areas.
60. Effective Onshore Wind Power Capacity
in the entire Eastern US
• NREL data applies to CF=.3
• NREL Estimates Eastern Peak Capacity = 52 GW
• Effective Wind Capacity: .3*52 GW = 15.6 GW
• Current average US consumption = 450 GW
• Potential average onshore Eastern wind
penetration into current US load:
(15.6 GW/450 GW) x 100% = 3.5%
• Long term: Probably less than 2%
• Maximum CO2 reduction: ~ 1%

62. Conclusion #1
• MA will not be encouraging the development of
a significant regional source by encouraging
onshore wind development.
• Funds are limited. Diversion of money into
wind could likely delay more effective measures
considerably.
61
63. Conclusion #2
• Precisely because Eastern wind resources are
quite small, the energy industry will develop
every (windy) ridgeline it can.
• Projects are already being proposed and built
throughout the Northeast: The Wind Rush is on.
62
64. Conclusion #3
• In the long run, something else will have to
carry 96+% of the electrical load in the East,
regardless of onshore wind development.
• Only solar power and offshore wind power
have the physical capability to contribute
significantly .
63
65. The Solar Resource
• Fundamentally different from wind:
– Much, much larger and well distributed resource
• The only serious onshore renewable power resource in the
Eastern US
– Much more scalable
• Much more flexibility on siting
– Rooftops, small backyard systems
– Myriad out-of-the-way, suitable sites for “solar orchards”
– Additional power lines are not needed
– Much better correlation with peak load
– Much more distributable in small pieces
• Slower minute-to-minute variation overall
• Close integration with natural gas power plants not needed,
or needed nearly as much
64
66. Solar Power: Vast potential with negligible
impact, IF sited and installed carefully
65
67. Careful Siting and Installation of Solar
• Careful siting of solar is crucial to avoiding undue
impacts and maintaining public support.
Fortunately, the solar resource is so vast that this
is possible (unlike the situation with onshore
wind resources in the Eastern US)
• Some siting criteria include:
– As out-of-sight as possible
– Avoid unduly compacting soils
– Avoid shading vegetation too much
– Obtain local public support first
– Tailoring projects to the local load: Avoid new power
lines
66
70. • The following slide shows a little known but
crucial fact: The cost of wind power has simply
failed to come down to the low levels it was
predicted to in the 1990s. In fact, it has increased
in cost since about 2001.
• This is due to wind’s intrinsic dependence on
large amounts of steel, cement, copper, and
other materials.
• Solar does is not intrinsically dependent on large
amounts of bulk materials, especially thin-film PV.

72. “As such, 2010 was another year of higher wind
power prices. The capacity-weighted average 2010
sales price for bundled power and renewable energy
certificates, based on projects in the sample built in
2010, was roughly $73/MWh. This value is up from
an average of $62/MWh for the sample of projects
built in 2009, and is more than twice the average of
$32/MWh (all in 2010 dollars) among projects built
during the low point in 2002 and 2003.”

74. Additional Transmission Costs
for Eastern Wind Power
• According to Gordon van Welie, President and
CEOof ISO New England Inc: “A conservative goal
for 5,500 megawatts of wind power and 3,000
megawatts of hydro power through 2030 would
carry transmission costs of between $7 billion
and $12 billion.”

Power”, by David Sharp, Associated Press Writer,
August 16, 2010.
• (4000+ miles of new transmission lines)
73
75. • The following slide shows a cost comparison between
ridgeline wind and solar (PV) on dollars per watt of
capacity. The underlying solar data is drawn from data
published by Paula Mints, a respected PV industry
analyst.
• The graph suggests that solar is converging rapidly with
wind. Note that this comparison does not include the
extra transmission cost needed for wind development
(and which is not needed for solar). If this is added in,
it is not clear that wind is cheaper than solar even
today, in terms of the total cost to ratepayers.

77. PV Cost Trend
PV is on track to become fully competitive by 2015.
76
78. Wind is a mechanical (old) approach,
PV is solid-state
• Wind requires coupling a matter flow to a generator: It
is intrinsically dependent on moving parts and large
quantities (per watt of generation) of:
– Cement
– Steel
– Copper
– Other special materials
• Wind is essentially a 19th approach to generating
power.
• PV technologies require no moving parts, and only
extremely small amounts of thin film material per watt.
• PV is 20th and 21st Century technology.
77
79. What if?
• Some of the billions being invested in wind
were invested into weatherization and
efficiency?
– A true “Manhattan Project” of conservation?
• Some of the billions being invested in wind
were used to help bring solar down in price,
locating good sites, empowering the public?
78
80. • The following slides show that a wide range of
conservationists and biologists are interested in
limiting wind development to “already-disturbed-
lands”. And they find that doing so would not
unduly constrain potential for wind development
(at least in terms of resource potential).
• It is, in fact, typical for our culture to quickly
develop a new energy source (or any new
resource for that matter), with little regard for
the consequences, and then only later attempt to
undo or correct for unforeseen consequences.
• With the issue of inappropriate wind
development, however, we have a chance this
time to avoid the worst, and get renewable
energy development focused back on a truly
sustainable path towards a bright future.

• Failure to get this right potentially endangers
