NativeEnergy Designates Focus the Nation Wind Turbine
New Project Up & Running With The Support Of National Educational Initiative
(CSRwire) CHARLOTTE, VT- January 22, 2008 — NativeEnergy, a leading international
marketer of high quality carbon offsets and renewable energy credits
(RECs), announced today that with the support of the national teach-in
Focus the Nation, a new 35 kW wind turbine project is actively operating
on an American family farm. As a result, this single 50 ft. turbine on
the Williamson family farm in Minnesota has been exclusively designated as
the "Focus the Nation Wind Turbine."
"Through the support of initiatives such as this, our new renewable energy
projects across the country not only continue to be constructed, but
continue to thrive," says Tom Boucher, President and CEO of
NativeEnergy. "This type of support has a direct benefit for both
our environment and at-risk communities. We value this and so find it
important to recognize organizations and companies whose support is
fundamental to making specific, high-quality renewable energy projects a
reality and bringing about the positive change we need to see."
Motivating the country to further explore global warming solutions,
Focus the Nation supports Native Energy's efforts to help
build and maintain new renewable energy projects through the purchase of
their expected long-term carbon offsets output. With
NativeEnergy's commitment to invest in projects that not only have
a positive impact on the planet but incorporate social values as well,
this collaboration is well aligned with Focus the Nation's
dedication to civic engagement.
"Native Energy is pioneering the kind of solutions that science and
justice demand", said Eban Goodstein, Focus the Nation director. "They
are showing how the clean energy revolution can both stabilize the
climate, and be an engine of sustainable economic development for rural
communities."
Individuals and families can be part of Focus the Nation in their
community and can find event locations at www.FocusTheNation.org.
Institutions, businesses, and individuals can support real, effective
solutions to the climate crisis by offsetting their carbon emissions with
high quality carbon offsets from the Focus the Nation wind turbine by
contacting NativeEnergy at www.NativeEnergy.com.
This strong commitment to both education and the environment is also
shared by the Williamson family, owners of the 2,000 acre farm where the
50 ft. Focus the Nation turbine now stands. As Minnesotan crop and
livestock farmers, the Williamsons have been stewards of the land for
generations, and agreed enthusiastically to the dedication of their
turbine as the Focus the Nation Wind Turbine. Consistently demonstrating
the utmost respect for the Earth, the Williamson family was recognized in
2006 by Rock County Minnesota as the Conservation Family of the Year. Now
today, from generating renewable energy with their on-farm wind turbine to
advancing the nation's understanding of climate change, the Williamsons
are proud to be involved in this historic initiative.
Focus the Nation is an unprecedented educational initiative on
global warming solutions for America occurring at more than 1,400
universities and colleges and in all 50 states on Jan. 31, 2008. As the
largest teach-in in U.S. history, Focus The Nation is preparing millions
of students to become leaders in the largest civilizational challenge any
generation has faced. For more information, please visit www.focusthenation.org.

businesses and homes with renewable energy. Offering RECs and offsets from
a variety of operating projects across America, NativeEnergy has a direct
