Most renewable energy development in America will take place in agricultural and rural parts of the country, creating a great need for locally-specific information from trusted sources: about wind speeds, tax incentives, locally-appropriate cropping systems, sources of equipment, utility policies, and countless other practical realities.

The National Center for Appropriate Technology and the Center for Environmental Farming Systems are beginning an effort to train Cooperative Extension agents and other agriculture professionals as Energy Educators. We will prepare these educators to lead training efforts in their own communities, helping local people manage their energy resources profitably and sustainably. We envision a growing network of professionals who will stay in touch for mutual support and professional development.
