http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Vincente/5595 We are involved in Energy REsearch, to engage the talents of local students, who can learn about energy savings...we ask: Why are we paying for electricity when we are surrounded by wind farms??  Why does not our school district offer energy education to our students?  They are spending tens of thousands each month on electricity, rather than learn and teach students how to produce their own power...our schools, hospitals, and churches pay huge sums of money, that could be used for education, while ignoring the realities and benefits of alternatives in energy production.... Maybe the ability of schools/educators to learn and teach about energy production shows how well they are preparing our students for a future that promises new directions in every field on human endeavor.  Let us know what you think about this subject.  We hope you enjoy our growing collection of energy-related videos.... www.myspace/americanwindfarms www.skywindpower.com www.greenenergytv.com www.liftportenergy.com We are involved in Energy REsearch, to engage the talents of local students, who can learn about energy savings...we ask: Why are we paying for electricity when we are surrounded by wind farms??  Why does not our school district offer energy education to our students?  They are spending tens of thousands each month on electricity, rather than learn and teach students how to produce their own power...our schools, hospitals, and churches pay huge sums of money, that could be used for education, while ignoring the realities and benefits of alternatives in energy production....

It seems like most schools have programs the relate to the area they are in like agriculture, construction, etc. That would be a great program to teach kids about a local program. It just seems like so many schools now days have gotten rid of their vocational programs, many schools have gotten rid of auto shop, welding and wood shop, it is a shame there is just as much a need for people working in those feilds as there were in the past when schools had those programs. Does tehachapi high have an auto shop program? Anyways you have a great idea, it would be nice if the school district would research it. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Vincente/5595/#c_55984 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Vincente/5595/#c_55984 What a great idea.

With as much talk that has surrounded the environment lately, I have been wondering when the citizens of our community would truly begin to realize the gem we are surrounded by.  Wind energy is a clean and very efficient source of power.  There is very little impact on the environment as wind energy is harnessed.  It would also be great to maybe see some more electric powered vehicles used as city government vehicles, given the use of several wind turbines providing power at the waste water treatment facility.  Tehachapi could truly set a wonderful example to the rest of the state and country on how a community can utilize the clean energy God has blessed us with and starting with it in the schools would be great. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Vincente/5595/#c_55986 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Vincente/5595/#c_55986 With as much talk that has surrounded the environment lately, I have been wondering when the citizens of our community would truly begin to realize the gem we are surrounded by.  Wind energy is a clean and very efficient source of power.  There is very little impact on the environment as wind energy is harnessed.  It would also be great to maybe see some more electric powered vehicles used as city government vehicles, given the use of several wind turbines providing power at the waste water treatment facility.  Tehachapi could truly set a wonderful example to the rest of the state and country on how a community can utilize the clean energy God has blessed us with and starting with it in the schools would be great.  Gore has been warning us about global warming for years.  It's still not too late for our children.   Education and a willingness to protect our planet is all that is needed to turn things around.   I am with you 100%  Great post!!!! http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Vincente/5595/#c_56053 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Vincente/5595/#c_56053  Gore has been warning us about global warming for years.  It's still not too late for our children.   Education and a willingness to protect our planet is all that is needed to turn things around.   I am with you 100%  Great post!!!! This is fascinating!

Thanks for sharing it with all of us. Thanks for all the comments. We are asking those who wish to push this forward, to create their own energy blogs.  I posted all of my schools on myspace, which allowed me to link back to my former classmates.  Then I decided to create a profile and energy blog on all of the local newspaper/blogs in the towns where I went to school.  All of the responses have been very supportive...the local blogs have been more effective than the big, global sites.  Those who respond on the global sites have been local people!! http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Vincente/5595/#c_57809 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Vincente/5595/#c_57809 Thanks for all the comments.

Vincente I have added your American Wind Farm blog to the Techachapi Links site  http://wud1.com/tehachapica/  to help spread the word.  This site I made has all of Tehachapi's websites and Blogs that I know of and gets quite a few hits every day.    I believe your cause to be a very good one.   I do one free non-profit Tehachapi blog a year..The last free non-profit blog I made for Tehachapi is at http://wud1.com/tmdc/    If you are interested I will put you on the top of my list for next year's free blog (I do free blogs around Thanksgiving time).  Again, great post and keep up the good work. debi http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Vincente/5595/#c_57828 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Vincente/5595/#c_57828 Vincente I have added your American Wind Farm blog to the Techachapi Links site  http://wud1.com/tehachapica/  to help spread the word.  This site I made has all of Tehachapi's websites and Blogs that I know of and gets quite a few hits every day.    I believe your cause to be a very good one.   I do one free non-profit Tehachapi blog a year..The last free non-profit blog I made for Tehachapi is at http://wud1.com/tmdc/    If you are interested I will put you on the top of my list for next year's free blog (I do free blogs around Thanksgiving time).  Again, great post and keep up the good work. debi
