The U.S. Department of Energy trumpets the virtues of renewable energy (wind, solar, fuel cells, etc.)

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

This announacement by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory explains
that renewable energy is today's best choice for people who live 1/4
mile or more off the grid. And with advances in solar power, wind energy
and fuel cells powered by hydrogen, this argument is only going to
become stronger in the years ahead. Renewable energy is only going to
become more popular and less expensive in our near future, since
technological advances are advancing rapidly. The day when our economy
no longer runs on oil is not far off.



--- For many rural families, the cost of extending a power line to a home or other facility can be time consuming and costly. By using alternative energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass, farmers, ranchers, business owners and homeowners can reduce their utility bills, stabilize electricity supplies and help reduce America's dependence on foreign energy supplies. Engineers from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) next month will host three workshops on "Solar, Wind and Biomass Energy for Farm, Ranch and Home" at the National Western Stock Show in Denver. The consumer-oriented workshops will offer an introduction to solar, wind and biomass energy systems, which can provide economical ways to produce electricity and hot water.
