One of the most important ways Alaskans can encourage the development of renewable energy is through political engagement. By voicing your support of federal and state renewable energy legislation, Alaskans can put the Great Land on an integrated energy path of renewable and non-renewable energy sources. Meanwhile, here are some local businesses making renewable energy resources and options available to Alaskans. Alaska Sun is a coalition of solar businesses, academics, and interested individuals working toward a renewable energy future for Alaska. Visit their Contractor/Supplier webpage for a list of renewable energy and solar experts in Alaska. ABS Alaskan, Inc. maintains a site that discusses renewable energy options, remote power products, tax credits and intertie incentives throughout Alaska. Alaska Energy Authority's Renewable Energy Atlas of Alaska shows potential renewable energy resources all over the state. Order a free copy by contacting Renewable Energy Alaska Project (REAP) or download the Atlas here (PDF file - 29MB). Home Power Magazine is a great online resource for consumers interested in creating renewable energy for their homes.
