Industrial Scale Renewable Energy:
A Skeptic’s Scrutiny From The Hinterlands


Mark Haynes


Mark’s talk will be an examination of and a skeptic’s perspective of many of the claims about renewable energy from the rural, environmental, power grid, and “big picture” perspectives.  
Mark retired in 2021 as President of Concordia Power, a small consulting firm focused on strategic services in the areas of advanced fission and fusion energy development.  Previously in his professional career, he was a Vice President of General Atomics and a Professional Staff Member of the United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.  He has a Master's degree in Environmental Science from Miami University in Ohio and a BS in Environmental Science from Morehead State University in Kentucky.  Mark and his wife Caroline have a home in Arlington, but spend much of their time working on their forested land in West Virginia, where they have an off-grid solar cabin.  As a volunteer, Mark is highly involved in energy development and land conservation issues.
