Nederland Renewable Energy Project

I'm wrapping up my time in Nederland and will be leaving for France in
late June.  I'd like to hand over the Nedrep web site duties (and
ownership) to someone else.  Please contact me at
dallas.masters@gmail.com if you are interested. I have enjoyed volunteering with many of you on projects around
Nederland, and I wish you luck in your various endeavors.  The future
is bright for Nederland!

     Hello all.  I spent most of this gray day loading the NedREP website with what I think will be some useful links on various topics.  I encourage anyone with interest in sustainability to create an account on the website and join in the conversation and add to the site.  By doing so, you can add links that you think will be interesting and helpful as well.
