Targeted Education and Empowerment: A Community Partnership Project

Green energy is one of the fastest growing industries today. By 2010, alternative energy will generate over $82 billion of electrical power. The solar industry should grow to $51.1 billion by 2015; the wind industry to $48.5 billion in 2015.
