US Department of Energy
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Wind Powering America program (based at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory) sponsors the Wind for Schools Project to raise awareness in rural America about the benefits of wind energy while simultaneously educating college seniors regarding wind energy applications. The three primary project goals of the Wind for Schools Project are to: (1) Engage rural school teachers and students in wind energy; (2) Equip college students in wind energy applications; and (3) Introduce wind energy to rural communities, initiating a discussion of wind energy's benefits and challenges. (Contains 3 resources.) [This paper was produced for the U.S. Department of Energy by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.]
