  REnewables in Education

  I like your solutions-oriented blogs; here is some of our contributions for the clean energy revolution along our porous borders: High-Altitude Windpower Contest...

  Our group just completed a video contest for HAWG power, in cooperation with LiftportEnergy.com and GreenEnergyTV.com, to launch a video of an energy kite, carrying a wind generator to several hundred feet; the deadline was Earth Day 2007...the winner of the contest was Kite Gen dot eu, which launched their video on YouTube - search on kitegen.

  Here is an article that we published today about building windfarms along our northern and southern borders, to create an energy production zone; we published on salon.com in response to an article about border security:

  Why not build wind farms along our borders?

  our energy education groups - American Windfarms would like to suggest that power plants on our borders, guarded by energy coops and land owners/leasing companies would provide much better security than fences, and could also provide home-grown energy to communities on both sides of the borders.

  Having something to protect would bring value to the border regions, and make it easier to create employment and training opportunities on both sides. The energy contractors are capable of hiring security to guard their plants, and their could be energy contracts for wind solar and geothermal drilling - why not allow the drilling companies to bid on land, along with wind and solar developers?

  All that the politicos want is a tug of war; americans in the north and south countries want solutions...stop waiting for the government. Let the energy contractors in other countries make a bid on leasing borderlands, and create energy production zones in this very large region of wilderness. All of the oil companies are getting into clean energy technologies; let them lease lands along our borders, and take the problems away from the government, with a free enterprise solution.
