This is Our Moment
For the first time in nearly 85 years, California has a new polytechnic. It’s a long time in the making, but for Humboldt, it’s a natural fit.
DABID GARCIA AND HIS COLLEAGUES are hiking up a steep slope of the Jenner Headlands, a sprawling prairie in coastal Marin County. It’s a cool February morning, and along the way they pass purple needlegrass (the official grass of California) and irises (which are blooming a little too early if you ask Garcia). The smell of the sea is in the air. So is the manure of belted Galloway cows idly grazing nearby.
Exploring Renewable Wind Energy
A remote location. Blustery weather. A wild and forbidding sea. Not everyone would see these attributes as assets, but then again, not everyone is lucky enough to live in Humboldt County, California, where using grit and innovation to solve major challenges isn’t just a necessity, it’s tradition. And there is perhaps no greater current challenge than climate change.
