Joint PhD Seminar with the Chair of Energy Systems and Energy Economics at Ruhr Universität Bochum
A couple of years ago, realizing that both teams hold a PhD seminar twice a year, former colleagues Russell McKenna and Valentin Bertsch teamed up to organize joint seminars with our researchers at PSI-LEA and ETH-ESA, and the Chair of Energy Systems and Energy Economics at Ruhr Universität Bochum.
“The biggest challenge is lacking public acceptance of wind turbines”
An international team of researchers has examined the environmental, social, economic and legal aspects of wind energy. In this interview, Russell McKenna, an expert in energy system analysis, explains where he sees the greatest need for action to further develop wind energy.
“If we exclude individual measures, it just means that we need more of the others.”
