*Description:
The Stranded Wind Initiative exists to find ways to use wind power in areas that lack the population to use it and the transmission resources to send it to market.
Stranded Wind is a multi level enterprise that facilitates the development of stranded renewable energy resources to address the issues of fossil fuels, energy independence and global warming. Stranded Wind is committed to the sustainable production of ammonia as an alternative fuel and agricultural commodity, rail electrification, the development of biofuels without impacting food production and local renewable power generation. Stranded Wind provides organizational development resources to encourage new, renewable energy projects using emerging technologies to enhance local energy independence. strandedwind.org
