In relation with Miss America's "Go Green Initiative" I thought I would share with the blog my experience with renewable energy and the future. As an undergraduate student at the University of Nebraska Lincoln I was able to work extensively with a core panel of students, researchers, professors and renewable energy professionals to create a documentary film on the various sources of renewable energy in Nebraska.
Wind. Solar. Nuclear. Biodiesel. Ethanol.

Students with the UNL College of Journalism and Mass Communications traveled across the state of Nebraska and visited with congressional representatives in Washington D.C. to research and produce a video documentary about alternative energy. Interviews were completed with Governor Dave Heineman, Senator Chuck Hagel, Senator Ben Nelson, Congressman Jeff Fortenberry, Congressman Adrian Smith, Congressman Lee Terry, Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and many others.
The project artners also convened two discussion groups about alternative energy featuring UNL students and a variety of experts. On March 13, 2008, the project partners convened a nuclear energy discussion featuring Alan Dostal, Corporate Nuclear Business Manager of Nebraska Public Power District, and Professor Jerry Hudgins, University of Nebraska Lincoln College of Engineering. On April 17, 2008, a discussion on ethanol was convened featuring Dan Owens, Rural Organizer with the Center for Rural Affairs, and Todd Sneller, Administrator of the Nebraska Ethanol Board. Both discussions were taped and moderated by UNL College of Journalism and Mass Communications students, and aired on 5 CITY-TV.
