農(nóng)村發(fā)展與綠色相伴

1、農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展與綠色相伴使用再生能源的風(fēng)潮已經(jīng)從美國(guó)的中西部農(nóng)場(chǎng)中興起，尤其是其中的風(fēng)力發(fā)電是再生能源中的佼佼者。隨著越來(lái)越多的美國(guó)人的環(huán)保意識(shí)的增強(qiáng)，人們圍繞著可再生能的主題不斷探討，如何才能使我們的農(nóng)村能夠在現(xiàn)代的發(fā)展中不被污染，依然能夠保持藍(lán)天、白云、綠草、清水。除了這些，每天關(guān)于一些污染，爆炸的新聞不絕于耳，這也讓人們都自發(fā)起來(lái)去保護(hù)自己的農(nóng)村環(huán)境，人們開始在資源的可回收利用上下功夫，以減少二氧化碳的排放對(duì)于環(huán)境的影響。這樣能夠使農(nóng)村更美也能使我們的地球更環(huán)保。下面有一個(gè)可以為農(nóng)村可再生能源項(xiàng)目提供資金幫助的環(huán)保案例。 這些方案的成功實(shí)施完全歸功于我們的農(nóng)民和一些科技企業(yè)的協(xié)助，我們不斷的努

2、力是為了致力于建立一個(gè)清潔的地球。美國(guó)農(nóng)村能源計(jì)劃（ REAP） 是為了推動(dòng)美國(guó)各地的農(nóng)村發(fā)展可再生能源項(xiàng)目而建立的。這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃的負(fù)責(zé)人最近發(fā)布了一則消息，為了能夠使清潔能源的使用更加方便，他們?cè)谌赖募佑驼径荚黾恿丝稍偕茉吹募佑涂冢嚿弦苍黾恿丝稍偕茉吹娜加捅?，這樣為可以為美國(guó)人提供更多的可再生能員的選擇。REAP計(jì)劃設(shè)計(jì)了兩種可在農(nóng)村發(fā)展可再生能源項(xiàng)目的方案，他們分別是厭氧沼氣池和渦輪機(jī)風(fēng)力發(fā)電項(xiàng)目。威斯康辛州的Kewaunee 縣，目前在這里投資的可再生能源項(xiàng)目已經(jīng)獲得了利益。 威斯康辛州的這個(gè)縣目前有兩個(gè)厭氧沼氣池和三個(gè)風(fēng)力發(fā)電農(nóng)場(chǎng)，他們每年所產(chǎn)生的能源，可以滿足全縣大約8000

3、戶家庭的使用。目前對(duì)于這個(gè)可再生能源項(xiàng)目的可投資性，我們做了充分的分析，我們聘請(qǐng)了一家印第安納州的公司來(lái)對(duì)于這個(gè)項(xiàng)目進(jìn)行整體的評(píng)定，其中包括整個(gè)方案的可行性，各地的氣候，以及設(shè)備的運(yùn)行情況。美國(guó)農(nóng)業(yè)部（USDA正在為農(nóng)村電力項(xiàng)目提供資金方面的支持，這將完全改變農(nóng)村可再生能源項(xiàng)目發(fā)展的格局，夏威夷和科羅拉多州最近開發(fā)了一種智能電網(wǎng)技術(shù)，可以為投資再生能源項(xiàng)目的客戶提供更好的管理。這項(xiàng)技術(shù)可以降低能源的消耗，以降低不必要的損耗，同時(shí)還會(huì)增加能源供應(yīng)的效應(yīng)。在美國(guó)的農(nóng)村發(fā)展中，對(duì)建設(shè)房屋的設(shè)計(jì)，從能源節(jié)約上也有著不同的計(jì)劃，這樣能使生活在美國(guó)的農(nóng)村社區(qū)能夠獲得體面、安全和高效的住房。一個(gè)新房的建設(shè)，

4、在專業(yè)的設(shè)計(jì)下，與舊式建筑相比能夠提高能源的使用效率。在新塔基州的新建房屋中，由于使用了新的能源使用方式，能源的使用和消耗率都比過去有所降低。此外， 農(nóng)村社區(qū)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的建設(shè)也是很重要的。內(nèi)布拉斯加州在可再生能源發(fā)展的大背景下，在他們的農(nóng)村社區(qū)里建設(shè)了一個(gè)具有高效節(jié)能的采暖和制冷系統(tǒng)，并且安裝了一系列的改裝裝置。我們一直在努力把最好的環(huán)保方法使用在美國(guó)的各個(gè)農(nóng)村，這意味著， 我們要在不斷的探索研究和學(xué)習(xí)中進(jìn)行，以滿足農(nóng)村不斷發(fā)展的需求。一些新的方法，可以進(jìn)一步幫助農(nóng)村脫離污染。請(qǐng) 與我們共同分享農(nóng)村可再生能源項(xiàng)目帶給我們的更好的環(huán)境。Going Green with Rural Developm

Hawaii and Colorado recently received funding for smart grid technologies that can provide data to consumers and utilities to better managepower uses and

Smart grid technologies will not only allow customers the opportunity to lower their bills by reducing peak hour usage, but it will also increase the efficiency of energy delivery.Rural Development also has a variety of Housing Programs available to ensure all Americans living in rural commu

Whether building a new home or restoring an existing residence, recipients are opting for design and construction standards that will increase energy efficiency. A new home in Kentucky is leading the way by using 75 percent less energy

A Nebraska library embraced the renewable energy trend and installed an energy-efficient heating and cooling system as part of a series of improvements.We are always striving to serve rural America in the best way pos
