Editorial

Welcome to our third issue of the Energy Digest! As usual, this is a GRASSROOTS movement and all the results depend on you! We now have our own domain (www.energyfarms.org) and moved and added information to the site. The current site is a simple HTML web site while we are in the process of improving the presentation with web software we wanted to continue getting information out.

New Sections/Information which were added to this edition:

• The Challenge – Manufactures/Dealers do your best in convincing readers to choose your product in our $200k/$500k Challenge which will give you the ability to submit your product/design to see what an independent can produce for $200,000 through $500,000. I will also invite financial people to produce rates for loans for backing sites for $200,000 through $500,000 that generate electric.
• Product Reviews – We are building a database on how users feel about the various products that they have experience with. This review will be built around your feedback and will hopefully help manufacturers improve their products. If you believe that additional questions would help please feel free to send them in.
• The Q PAGE - We will print one question every Newsletter and seek the answer from our readers, it will also have links to the FAQs’ and Qs’&As’ on our web site.
• Suggested Actions – A list of suggested actions you can take to support our goals.
• Talking Points – A list of points of why we are pushing our goals.
• Brochure – A brochure that supports the group that you can print, make copies and give to others
• Presentation – Power Point presentation explaining the goals of Energy Farms
• Solar and Wind products – As we get information in we will add it to this site but this in not our product comparison database, just product information.

The difference with our group is that we are promoting and encouraging energy independence using clean renewable sources and promoting jobs and incentives for the creation of Energy Farms. We will also cover becoming independent and how best to run it as a small business thus it is not just to support your personal energy needs but for an income-producing career.

• We will be asking people to write letters to their representatives to push for this goal.
• We are asking the government to attack the issue of energy independence the same way we pushed the Apollo Program to land a man on the moon and we will ask people to get behind the issue with the same enthusiasm that fans show for sporting events and for movies.
• We will encourage colleges to create a curriculum to show people a new career alternative, that of generating electric and selling it to the utilities.
• We will push for a standard acceptable contract for independent power producers and the utilities so that the additional legal costs can be avoided.
• We will also seek reasonable environmental controls. We are the stewards of our planet and we need to maintain it so that future generations can enjoy it in safety.
• Being energy independent should avoid future wars over oil and lost lives while benefiting the standard of living for people worldwide.

If you feel the same way please add your voice in the battle.

We also put together our 1^st sample site(s). If we can put together a site that generates a good income and a sustainable career for people we can replicate it across the country and create jobs for thousands of people. As part of the effort we will cover various products, home design and independent living ideas. Feel free to send your ideas to mailto:editor@energyfarms.org

Please also feel free to send this newsletter to others, but do not spam!

If you are receiving multiple copies please e-mail us with the address you want removed.

I also included the contents from previous issues and a link to it on the web

This newsletter promotes independent living and environmental stewardship.

Some near terms growth plans.

• We are picking up advisors and future contributors for articles, we have several people who have been interested all their lives but didn’t know how to get involved. We will have their bios in future Newsletters.
• We would like to publish more frequently than every month so we are looking for sponsors to help us publish more frequently and to become a non-profit organization promoting mid-scale energy generation and energy independence.
• Some subscribers to the Newsletter are from other countries, involved with the environment and would like to help their countrymen become independent and build their own family energy farm.
• We are looking to team up with a energy non-profit to seek funding from funding sources to the benefit of our goal. If your group would like to consider sponsoring our group please contact us at editor@energyfarms.org

To keep the Newsletter short we try to provide links to most items, just double click and you should be taken to the item. Please send this Newsletter to others!

Prior to sending out the Newsletter all links are checked BUT since they are on other sites there is no assurance that they will work nor will they work in the future!

If you have a problem please send an email to us at mailto:editor@energyfarms.org
