OSU’s OCEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY RESEARCH

SEEKS FEDERAL FUNDING

 

The January issue of “Life@OSU” recognizes two OSU research directors for signing on to an urgent letter to President-elect Obama’s transition team calling for inclusion of ocean energy—along with solar, wind, and geothermal—in federal renewable energy research funding. Part of this funding, they argue, should go to environmental impact research and public outreach. Dr. Robert Paasch (MIME associate professor and interim program director of the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center) and George Boehlert (Fisheries and Wildlife professor and director of OSU’s Hatfield Marine Science Center) signed the document titled “Ocean Renewable Energy: a Shared Vision & Call for Action.”
