Dec. 2005  This informative website from the USDA list the technologies that are commercially available for farms and ranches, they include: biofuels, biopower, bioproducts, geothermal heat pumps, geothermal direct use, hydroelectric power, passive solar heating, photovoltaic (solar cell) systems, solar hot water systems, and wind energy. This site also maintains links to dozens of websites for additional information on the above mentioned technology from the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and the National Nenewable Energy Laboratory.
