A new series about sustainable energy innovations, e² energy is set to start airing tonight at 10pm on StarTimes. The e² energy series begins in the farmlands of southwest Minnesota, where an increasing number of farmers are looking to wind power as both a means of sustainable energy production and an economic lifeline for small-town America.
This is in contrast to the struggles for acceptance that wind harvesting has been facing in the United States. Some farmers in this Minnesota region have joined forces in wind cooperatives to investing in larger farms and reap bigger profits.
In the absence of a strong renewable energy policy at the federal level, the state government plays a key role in wind policy, begging the question: Will the rest of the U.S. follow Minnesota’s and the other States which lead in Wind?
Locally, we have seen struggles to build on wind energy, with the latest wind power project in Kinangop Nyandarua County faltering at the implementation stage due to political meddling by the area’s leaders.
To find out the true benefits of wid power and the struggles green energy is facing in more developed nations like the United States, you can catch the Harvesting the Wind program on Da Vinci Learning channel 363 DDT or 308 DTH on StarTimes. StarTimes will air this program tonight starting at 10pm.
