 Presentation Description:=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 Jerry Paschen is a first class electrician and green party candidate.  An electrical contractor since 1968, he managed the LW52 Project, a 750 Kw gearless turbine for the grid through his electrical company.  In his latest venture with Windsong Energy Inc., he visualizes a society with a majority of its energy generated by wind and the parking lots are filled with electric rechargeable cars while their owners work and sleep.  =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 Paschen points out that up to 15% of European countries' power is wind generated, Oregon is 5th in the nation but still generates around 41% of its electricity from burning coal.  Oregon, with a population of 3 million plus, has 1585 Mw on the grid, which is very impressive.  Conservation of electrical power and learning to use renewable energy like wind, which leaves a small footprint on our planet, and CO2 emission reduction projects are a must!  Paschen states that we don't have to go back to the "stone age" to live a more sustainable lifestyle; rather, we should look more into the future.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 One advantage of harnessing wind power is that it takes less than a year to put up a turbine, while a coal burning plant could take up to 10 years with planning, engineering and construction.  Another advantage, a turbine can pay for itself in only four years, or a 24 year life expectancy.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 Ashland has a good wind power potential, there is a place for a 3.8 Mw wind farm.  He is looking 3 years down the road for investors. =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 Paschen grew up in Berlin, where he believes his fascination with electricity began, as he regularly rode the electric street car, which he recalls, "takes off like a rocket." =0D=0A=
