     Technology:


This map attempts to show all grid-connected renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal and biomass electricity) projects of 100 kilowatts or higher in the Interwest states of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. It shows projects located in Interwest states that might supply power to states outside the region (such as Nevada's Dixie Valley geothermal project), but NOT projects in non-Interwest states that might be supplying renewable power to Interwest states.

  Utah State University Huntsman School of Business UT Renewable Energy for Rural Economic Development (RERED) is an on-going research program at Utah State University's Jon M. Huntsman's School of Business that is funded by congressionally-directed and competitive grants from the U.S. Department of Energy, called Wind Powering America. Marketing professors Cathy L. Hartman and Edwin R. Stafford, who are experts in the market diffusion of clean technology and green marketing, direct RERED. They have been research collaborators since 1995 and their academic research has been published in variety of business management and environmental policy journals including Environment, Business Strategy and the Environment, Business Horizons, Long Range Planning, and The Stanford Social Innovation Review.
