For Bridgewater and/or schools
September 18, 2003
The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative funds alternative energy studies and projects within the state, and funded by a small fee on utility bills. A number of communities and schools systems have availed themselves of these funds. Between the 30 acres set aside for the prison and extra space the the B-R School District just bought, wouldn't either of these sites be potentially good for study of alternative energy sources?
Especially with the College in town also - they have programs in Physics, Environmental Geography, Energy & Environmental Resource Mgmt. Putting known technologies to use, schools in Whitman-Hanson, Plymouth, Pembroke, Falmouth & Brockton have received grants to study or implement environmentally-friendly sources of energy. Surprisingly, B-R is not on the list --- or maybe NOT SURPRISINGLY!
