See It: The Community being helped

This project first began when I was in the eigth grade. It was my first year in independant study and I had decided that I didn't want to Earth Science, but Oceanography and Environmental Science. I took the Environmental Science class in my second semester and learned about alternative energy source about ahlf way through it. I was truly captivated by the class and even more captivated by wind energy. I began to wonder why we even bother with fossil fuels to power our homes and why we have to pay so much for energy. Energy should be free; we shouldn't have to be so reliant on power companies for electricity. I then came up with the idea of putting wind turbines in my subdivision. You may ask "How could you fit turbines in a subdivision?" Well, fortunately, my subdivision has dedicated green space. The homeowner's association usually rents the land out to cattle rancher's.
It's been three years since I came up with my idea, but it wasn't able to build on my dream until I joined the National Honors Society and had to come up with a community service project. This page, along with my page on YouTube are apart of my project. I have created a ten minute video that covers the general points in creating community-based power generation.
