Abstract:
Fibrowatt, a Pennsylvania-based energy company, plans to open three poultry waste power plants in North Carolina. Two of the sites will be located in Sampson and Surry counties, and the third to be chosen from either Moore, Montgomery, or Stanly Counties. The plants will provide a way to turn poultry waste into a clean source of renewable energy.

North Carolina has the capacity to develop renewable energy in the form of wind power, biomass fuel, and solar power. Currently, the state's traditional energy supplies--coal, oil, natural gas, and uranium--come from other states. The authors discuss state policies that encourage the development of these renewable energies and present some lessons learned from other states.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Utilities Commission requested a major study of the potential benefits of developing renewable energy resources and the possible costs to consumers. Boston-based La Capra Associates, a consulting firm which has advised other states on energy alternatives, conducted the study. The study identified the following renewable resources available in North Carolina: biomass, wind, wood waste, agriculture crop waste, hydropower, and landfill gas. While the list is broad, practical application of these resources in the state is limited.
