DESCRIPTION:Offshore wind farms offer the promise of renewable electricity 
 without the need for fossil fuels. As wind turbines become more and more ef
 ficient\, policymakers and communities are weighing the environmental and e
 conomic benefits of wind-generated electricity against potentially negative
  impacts on wildlife\, tourism\, aesthetics\, fishing\, and boat navigation
 \, among others. 
\n
\n
\nIn this Forum\, a panel of guest speakers introdu
 ces participants to some of the factors surrounding the local and national 
 debates on the issue of wind energy\, including the proposed Cape Wind proj
 ect. Audience members will work in small groups to consider trade-offs from
  the various stakeholder perspectives and then decide whether and how offsh
 ore wind farms should be used by a fictional coastal community.
