About Green Energy & Wind Farm Contractor Grants

Video Transcript

"Green energy and wind farm contractor grants are an emerging business. A legal relationship that is occurring because of the opportunity of green technology to be located on privately owned land. It's not unlike the same situation we've observed with, for example, billboards along interstates being erected on private owned land so that businesses can advertise. So as green energy technology evolves, for example, like wind energy where you have a very tall tower made of iron with spinning turbines that have to be located in the right place, in the right density so that the wind that's available in a particular geographic area can be harnessed effectively and the energy be transmitted to other areas where it's needed, private land ownership is the largest base in terms of land availability for these companies to use and to partner with so that our country can benefit from this new technology and this almost inexhaustible supply of renewable energy. The federal government has, and other governments have begun to realize that green business is not unlike the previous history of business investment that we've seen our governments participate in in the past. Economic development, Chambers of Commerce, industrial development grants, small business loans, all of these are familiar terms in our society in terms of investing in business using tax dollars to create jobs. And now we're finding similar methods being pursued for green businesses. As green business emerges as one of our fastest growing economic sectors, we're finding that in order to hasten those opportunities, government is having to create, not only the physical infrastructure, but also electronic infrastructure and economic infrastructure and social and cultural and human infrastructure such as training and education in our public and private universities so that the work force that is emerging from our schools will be ready to apply for and be successful at producing a new economy for our nation and for our communities."
