Today’s world demand for clean energy products and sources is a topic that most if not all of us are now familiar with. Growing populations, instability in the Middle East, concern for our environment, and the need for jobs and a stable economy are but just a few driving forces behind this demand. Each of us holds a responsibility for contributing to meeting this demand and can contribute in numerous ways such as reducing energy consumption in our daily lives, switching to using devices that demand less energy, helping to define local clean energy projects, and supporting projects on a community level that can contribute to creating clean energy related jobs, local clean energy related revenue, and fostering the concept of Energy Farming.

Below are descriptions of what is detailed behind the links at the upper left of this page, where these pages as a whole will stir thought about how individuals and communities can contribute to meeting energy demands for themselves, for their local communities, and for the nation as a whole.

Information found behind the links in the Concepts and Ideas section detail:
· How Energy Farming can address our energy demands
· Components that are and should be a part of the Energy Farming concep
·  Review calculations I made that show just how much power we could produce for residential use as a nation
·  Thoughts to consider regarding Energy Farming and in supporting local projects
·  Actions needed by citizens, politicians, and businesses


Information found at the links in the Technologies pages detail and discuss:
· Producing and using grass pellets & briquettes for heating a home
· Cellulosic Ethanol and successful Switchgrass plots that I’ve established
· A custom made residential wind turbine that we built
· Residential wind power for home power production
· Supporting commercial wind projects to generate local jobs and tax revenue
· Solar power for home power production
·  Using exercise equipment for home power production
· Ideas we've implemented in our home that that help save energy and money
· Many of these pages also contain links to other online resources, and pictures & wiring diagrams of what I have built and 
  installed.

The How Can I Help section lists information about my experience in this arena, along with some ways I can help individuals and businesses take advantage of some of these concepts that make up Energy Farming.

Please also feel free to contact me for further information on what we’ve installed at home. To request related consulting services, or if you’d like to discuss Energy Farming in general, feel free to contact me at:

… and remember, God gave us this earth as our only home, and it is our duty and expectation that we do our best to keep it tidy and clean. Part of keeping it clean and tidy is to use and take advantage of energy sources that do not result in negative effects on human life.
