Clean Energy Resource Teams

To assist the local Clean Energy Resource Teams, a resource manual was developed to help identify options for communities interested in developing their energy resources. The manual contains an overview of nearly every renewable and clean energy source available, an extensive listing of resources, and nearly 30 case studies of renewable/clean energy projects.
