U.S. colleges and universities are increasingly deploying solar arrays and other forms of renewable energy. At College of the Atlantic, one focus is on teaching students how to participate in local, renewable energy economies, from the ground up.
A new initiative aims to bring economic, social, and environmental sustainability to communities across Maine.
This is the sixth in a series of blog posts from College of the Atlantic students studying ways to develop and implement renewable energy solutions for the Maine coast in a unique multidisciplinary, multigenerational field-based course developed by COA faculty and the Island Institute under the auspices of the Fund for Maine Islands.
