In 2008 we began researching optimum solar and wind technology to be implemented here at the New American Castle Museum.
Some of things we are working on in 2009:
-
Obtaining and conserving land primarily to promote old growth forests. (We have seen the forestry in our area and it is maximum yield harvesting with little or no thought for the future).
-
Investigating more energy saving, green technologies and water conservation. (Even though we are in a remote area our water supply is threatened by man-made pollution).
-
Designing a solar powered charging station for an electric vehicle.
-
Measuring wind velocity and duration to determine the feasibility of wind power in our area.
-
Researching new technologies and training for law enforcement and security.
