Alternative Power Resources
Areas to Develop Energy
Electricity generation from non-combustion based sources such
as wind, tidal, solar, hydroelectric or geothermal energy
relies on locating in optimum conditions.
While power plants, refineries, and traditional steam turbine
generators transport fuel to a site built for the power grid, renewable
energy is dependent on natural factors of the environment.
Acres For Energy provides visual insight into which locations are naturally
suited for alternative energy generation. Using mapping, weather, technology
and statistics data from sources such as the U.S. Department of Energy, National
Renewable Energy Laboratory, National Geographic Information Services, National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and others, acresforenergy.com is a
green information resource for anyone interested in powering the future.
