Bringing Hope to Foregone Local Economies

Filed in archive True Stories on April 30, 2007

Speaking of inspiration, here is a story that is worth the tears. In Berlin, New Hampshire, an old, closed-down paper mill is being converted into a 50 megawatt renewable energy power plant. While it would only produce a fraction of the former's employee needs, this renewable energy project would however, provide its workers with higher compensation and would infuse new blood into the veins of the dying local economy.
