The Energy Farms Group
February 2005
We want to encourage the development and support of Renewable Electric sites distributed along the power grid to:
- Reduce Pollution and health costs incurred from fossil fuels
- Provide jobs
- Reduce the need for military actions to guard oil supplies
- Become energy independent
- Greater availability of electric and less outages
- Lower and more stable electrical costs
- Promote it as a stable independent family small business
- Broaden the tax base in rural areas
- Help encourage research for electrical energy for the world
