From The Workbench - Alternative + Renewable Energy Blog Valuable information for do-it-yourselfers interested in the latest in alternative + renewable energy

Hello and Happy Monday!  If you’re anything like me, trying to convince yourself that Monday is indeed, Happy, can be a stretch, but hopefully you had a long, enjoyable 4th of July weekend, so coming back isn’t all that terrible.  Hopefully.

In an attempt to make your day better, I found some news on how towns in and around the Boston area are so fed up with rising energy prices that they are undettered in their quest to bring wind turbines into the area to provide power.  Local officials are still trying, despite the “poor” rating by the U.S. Department of Energy for wind power.  The point is, I love this.  I love people actively seeking out, fighting for, and pursuing alternative methods for heating and powering local offices, buildings, schools and the likes.

Nevertheless, it’s interesting to read about both the hope for, and the challenges present that they are facing.  Head over and check it out, then think about asking Your local government to check into the same, or similar alternative energy options.
