             As the nation suffers the sting of rising fuel prices, alternative forms of energy become increasingly important.  Energy sources such as wind, solar and geothermal power will be a necessary component in the future, one that can provide greater benefit with less environmental impact.

            In the continuing series Going Green with the Genesee County Health Department, our next discussion “Sustainable Energy” will be presented by Dr. David Benson, assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering at Kettering University in Flint, on May 6th, at 10:00 AM.

Dr. Benson received his PhD from Michigan State University in Mechanical Engineering. His areas of expertise include educational methods, solar magneto-convection and Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation of mixed-compression inlets. Dr. Benson will present information regarding sustainable energy such as solar power, wind power, wave power, geothermal power, tidal power and others.  Join us at the Genesee County Health Department for this free seminar to learn more about these exciting alternative energy sources – reserve your spot today!
