The term Green Power encompasses many fields and as our planet’s natural resources are slowly running out, we must find alternatives to replace them. We must take into consideration the serious problem of greenhouse gases and global warming.There are many alternative sources of renewable energy and these are the future technologies that must be developed if we are to provide future generations with a healthy environment in which to live.

A key component of a more sustainable energy future for the West is to expand the number of homes and businesses that are using renewable energy. Since 1997, WRA's Green Power program has worked to educate citizens and businesses about ways to use renewable energy.

The movement toward "greener" power is based on decisions you make. You make decisions on a daily basis of how much and what kind of energy to use. You can make decisions on where your energy comes from. You can also make the decision to capture renewable energy on your own to decrease your dependence upon utilities producing energy from fossil fuels.
