(Vinnie) || Vento del Mare Clean Energy Company, Inc. strives to provide the cleanest form of energy possible with as little effect on our environment as possible. Too many companies attempt to market expensive alternative energy sources that do not produce a sufficient amount of renewable energy. The main problem that Fremont is experiencing is sporadic loss of power around town, or brown outs. These are caused by the reduced flow of water from Atlanta. Without the water, the generators do not function properly, producing brown outs. Our solution is to either completely replace or augment the existing energy grid that Fremont has in place with our clean energy. Our energy is generated by wind and wave turbines. Our solution involves generating energy from the turbines in Eureka, California, refining it at our headquarters (also in Eureka), and transporting it via insulated wire to Fremont, Georgia.  (Johanna) || Our company was started by three friends, who met with the goal to bring affordable clean energy to the mass population. We started the company, Vento del Mare (which means ‘Wind of the Sea’ in Italian) in 2003, as a way of combining the energy outputs of giant offshore wind turbines and tidal turbines underneath them. Growing up, we watched the environment around us deteriorate as a result of burning fossil fuels, and we decided that something had to be done. Long story short, here we are. (Chase) || Wind Energy is used widely around the world, but unfortunately not extensively in the United States. The major problem most people have with wind energy is that it takes up a very large amount of space. At Vento Del Mare, we use space that no one would use anyway, the ocean! We use offshore rigs combined with micropower solutions to bring towns the most energy possible for the lowest price. Micropower solutions are installed IN the town (our offshore rigs are in Eureka), and can be mounted on the roofs of houses. We feel that this combination is the key to having low energy prices.
