A farmer tills the soil before planting 2 acres of switchgrass, a biomass fuel that will be cut and baled like regular hay, then processed in a pellet mill to eventually be burned in a pellet stove for heat. A home with photo voltaic cells on it's roof (generating electricity from the sun) and solar thermal collectors (generating hot water, also from the sun) is in the background. A 2.4 kW wind turbine is to the right. Photographed in New Hampshire.
