Group 5: Alternative Energy and Transportation

Promoting methods of renewable/alternative energy production and use is also a focus of Clear Creek Watershed Foundation. Sustainable means of energy production/use and transportation would result in less pollution in the Clear Creek Watershed, provide renewable forms of energy for future generations and lessen dependency on non-renewable forms of energy. The CCWF is looking to support current alternative energy and transportation projects, as well as possibly implement pilot scale projects, especially on remediated mine land.
