Brian Kuhn: VP of Development and Co-Founder of Aeronautica, holds a Bachelor of Science degree in ‘Renewable Energy Systems and Business’, from U-Mass Amherst in ’77. He served as Chairman for the Plymouth Energy Committee. He is the principal author of ‘Plymouth 2020’, a plan which calls for virtually all of Plymouth’s Municipal electricity to be produced by renewable sources in time for the town’s 400th anniversary. For that to happen Plymouth would need 6 utility sized turbines. He described the process he went through to get the wind by-law in Plymouth be voted in unanimously in 2006-2007. Currently there are 30 turbines, big and small, in the pipeline for Plymouth.
