The inside of the Wind Turbine at Kirkwood
Lee Maxwell, of Wilton, will be sitting with Michelle Obama during Tuesday night’s event
Lee Maxwell, one of Kirkwood’s Energy Production & Distribution Technogies students from last year, is attending Tuesday evening’s State of the Union address as a guest of President Obama. Maxwell was hired by ACCIONA last May and was flown out to Montana the following day to help assemble a 139 wind turbines on a wind farm. He needed no further training from ACCIONA, than what was provided by the college’s Energy Production program.
Maxwell is preparing to travel to Costa Rica to help build another wind farm for ACCIONA.
The Quad City Times has more on Maxwell’s visit to Washington DC.
