= = = = = = = = = =  Energy is getting expensive! In these tough economic times, the people in your city are having a difficult time affording electricity. You have done your research, and have realized wind energy is the most efficient and affordable means for providing electricity to your city of 15,000 residents.

It is up to you to create a campaign to convince your city's leaders to convert to wind energy as the city's means for providing affordable electricity. The leaders of your city are ready to listen to you; however, there are specific areas needing your attention, and you need to be prepared.

Your meeting requires you to present written material for them to learn about the financial and environmental advantages of using wind power, a billboard advertising your idea to your community, a prototype of the wind turbine you feel will work best, as well as an oral presentation covering and explaining these advantages, how wind energy works, and how your prototype will fulfill your city's needs.

You not only need to convince your city's leaders to convert to wind energy, but you will need to teach them about it, too!  The March winds are nearly upon us! Use this season to your advantage, and get started creating your campaign! Your city's residents need YOU, and your energy expertise! **//Wind is air in motion!//** Wind is a natural resource! ** //Wind can be renewed!// ** **Wind is produced by the unequal heating of Earth's surface by the sun. ****Wind energy can generate electricity. ****Windmills are mounted on tall towers because wind speeds increase above the Earth's surface. **
