Solar energy is clean, renewable energy that can be used for heating water, buildings and barns, and for creating power to operate farming equipment. A Northeast farm can grow greens throughout the winter, including tropical fruits, using solar power. Wind energy, on the other hand, is the world’s fastest-growing energy technology. The wind’s force is converted into mechanical power or electricity that many farmers use for water pumps.
