农村发展与绿色相伴

1、.：.； 农业开展与绿色相伴运用再生能源的风潮曾经从美国的中西部农场中兴起，尤其是其中的风力发电是再生能源中的佼佼者。随着越来越多的美国人的环保认识的加强，人们围绕着可再生能的主题不断讨论，如何才干使我们的乡村可以在现代的开展中不被污染，依然可以坚持蓝天、白云、绿草、清水。除了这些，每天关于一些污染，爆炸的新闻不绝于耳，这也让人们都自发起来去维护本人的乡村环境，人们开场在资源的可回收利用上下功夫，以减少二氧化碳的排放对于环境的影响。这样可以使乡村更美也能使我们的地球更环保。下面有一个可以为乡村可再生能源工程提供资金协助 的环保案例。这些方案的胜利实施完全归功于我们的农民和一些科技企业的协助，我

2、们不断的努力是为了努力于建立一个清洁的地球。美国乡村能源方案REAP是为了推进美国各地的乡村开展可再生能源工程而建立的。这项方案的担任人最近发布了一那么音讯，为了可以使清洁能源的运用更加方便，他们在全美的加油站都添加了可再生能源的加油口，汽车上也添加了可再生能源的燃油蹦，这样为可以为美国人提供更多的可再生能员的选择。REAP方案设计了两种可在乡村开展可再生能源工程的方案，他们分别是厌氧沼气池和涡轮机风力发电工程。威斯康辛州的Kewaunee县，目前在这里投资的可再生能源工程曾经获得了利益。威斯康辛州的这个县目前有两个厌氧沼气池和三个风力发电农场，他们每年所产生的能源，可以满足全县大约8000户

3、家庭的运用。目前对于这个可再生能源工程的可投资性，我们做了充分的分析，我们聘请了一家印第安纳州的公司来对于这个工程进展整体的评定，其中包括整个方案的可行性，各地的气候，以及设备的运转情况。美国农业部USDA正在为乡村电力工程提供资金方面的支持，这将完全改动乡村可再生能源工程开展的格局，夏威夷和科罗拉多州最近开发了一种智能电网技术，可以为投资再生能源工程的客户提供更好的管理。这项技术可以降低能源的耗费，以降低不用要的损耗，同时还会添加能源供应的效应。在美国的乡村开展中，对建立房屋的设计，从能源节约上也有着不同的方案，这样能使生活在美国的乡村社区可以获得面子、平安和高效的住房。一个新房的建立，在专

4、业的设计下，与旧式建筑相比可以提高能源的运用效率。在新塔基州的新建房屋中，由于运用了新的能源运用方式，能源的运用和耗费率都比过去有所降低。此外，乡村社区根底设备的建立也是很重要的。内布拉斯加州在可再生能源开展的大背景下，在他们的乡村社区里建立了一个具有高效节能的采暖和制冷系统，并且安装了一系列的改装安装。我们不断在努力把最好的环保方法运用在美国的各个乡村，这意味着，我们要在不断的探求研讨和学习中进展，以满足乡村不断开展的需求。一些新的方法，可以进一步协助 乡村脱离污染。请与我们共同分享乡村可再生能源工程带给我们的更好的环境。Going Green with Rural DevelopmentU

Rural Development has programs available to provide funding for renewable energy projects. Heres a glimpse of the investments made in renewable energy thanks to partnerships between

REAP is already an established program in funding anaerobic digesters and wind turbines. Kewaunee County, Wis., is a prime example of the

A Nebraska library embraced the renewable energy trend and installed an energy-efficient heating and cooling system as part of a series of improvements.
