Biofuels (28) Both biodiesel and ethanol are clean, grow-your-own fuels that can be made from renewable, locally available resources, using simple equipment. These fuels are among a wide range of sustainable rural energy options. Hydrogen Cells (23) Hydrogen fuel cells produce electricity when hydrogen stored in a tank combines with the oxygen in the air leaving water as a byproduct. |
Solar (17) Solar power is energy for free. As we move aggessively away from dependence on foreign fossil fuels, sun power is a free alternative. Anything having to do with solar energy can be added here. Wind Power (43) Wind is free energy waiting to be tapped. As we look to become less dependent on non-renewable fossil fuels, wind is an excellent alternative. Anything having to do with wind power can be added here. |

- Alternative energy sources such as wind, solar and biomass can help farmers and ranchers provide power to remote locations and reduce their utility bills at the same time.
Solar and wind power can be used to pump water for livestock and power electric fences, automatic gate openers and lights. For many rural families, a solar system or small wind turbine might be less expensive than the cost of extending a power line to a home or other facility.

- As home and property owners, renewable energy generating equipment like solar panels or small wind turbines can be cost-effective, particularly in rural areas where the only alternative is extending long electric distribution lines. Many Texas ranchers use solar panels to pump water in a cost-effective manner. Others choose to augment their existing utility power with solar panels; in this arrangement, they reduce their electric bill by generating a portion of their own power needs.
