The alternative fuels industry has been steadily growing for the last several years due to the concern over the depletion of our non-renewable energy sources and the need for cleaner energy. North Carolina, and especially Sampson County, is on the cutting edge of alternative fuels technologies, yet this information is not being widely known within the community and training programs to prepare students to work in this industry are still in development stages.
In this lesson, students will become familiar with existing alternative fuels technologies being used in our state, how they are being used, and explore marketing strategies used in this growing industry.
