Thinking about solar or wind power for your place or just interested in the subject? The University of Wyoming filmed a series of interviews in May 2009 with a Wyoming off-grid small acreage landowner. These videos cover the basics of solar and wind systems, frank discussion of their pros and cons, challenges and benefits, and some economic considerations.

Also keep your eyes peeled for a very interesting article on geothermal heat pumps, a lower maintenance alternative system for heating and cooling – coming soon in the Spring 2010 Barnyards & Backyards magazine!

You can find links to these videos and additional resources on renewable and alternative energy on the B&B 'Resources - Renewable/Alternative Energy ' page at http://www.uwyo.edu/barnbackyard/info.asp?p=10820
