A grass-roots project has been launched to encourage and support renewable energy installations in The Mountain Empire.
It grew out of Save the Scenic Sonoita/Elgin Grasslands http://groups.google.com/group/3SEG?pli=1.
You can help to demonstrate a commitment to preservation and conservation, to stimulate the local economy, and to ensure lower energy costs for the 21st Century and beyond.
A downloadable petition for support to help accomplish the goals can be found on the group's website.

Renewable energy projects - "green" in the current vernacular - promise to be one of the building blocks in regenerating local economies.
Report from National Governors Association As governors across the country look at ways they can help build a green economy in their state, the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) has commissioned Collaborative Economics Inc. (CEI) to prepare a profile of each state’s "green" economy. This data is designed to provide a detailed, empirical account of each state’s existing assets across multiple green sectors and serve as a foundation for identifying future growth areas and related needs.
As with all economic, workforce, and energy development strategies, the NGA Center encourages states to start with a careful analysis of their existing capabilities and strengths and build on those. The profile analyzes the scope of green business activity in each state from 2000 to 2007 (the latest year data is available) and patent activity from 1994 to 2008. Such an analysis can reveal areas of comparative advantage, targets for workforce development, and opportunities for building partnerships within and across green industry segments.
This information also helps reveal the extent to which a state’s business base can meet the coming demand for things such as highly efficiency appliances, renewable energy generation systems, high-efficiency building products, and low-emission fuels.
