Our expert witness's home and pick up truck are solar PV powered!

Dr. Al Compaan, the expert witness for the environmental coalition Beyond Nuclear helps lead in the intervention against the Davis-Besse atomic reactor 20 year license extension near Toledo, Ohio, powers not only his home with solar photovoltaic panels, but also his converted all-electric pick up truck! (see photo at left) See his personal website for photos and more information. Dr. Compaan is an emeritus Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Toledo, and a former department chairman. Dr. Compaan, with assistance from his student Kathryn Hoepfl, wrote "Contentions 2 and 3" in Beyond Nuclear's intervention against Davis-Besse's license extension, arguing that solar PV, certainly combined with wind power, could readily replace the problem-plagued atomic reactor's 908 Megawatts of electricity.
