-** All schools recieving must be accredited in the United States - The taxpayers of each district would eventually be paying less money due to the fact that the energy bills would be less within the school systems - The environment would be less polluted and we would be saving nonrenweable resources
 * Terms and Benefits:

- Cost of equipment- $333,270 per solar energy system, $ 300 million for wind turbines, salaries of workers - Cost of labor- $4.2 million - Education- all workers should have a previous education in their career choice - Energy Needs- fossil fuels needed to transport equipment
