Case Studies To Encourage Native Americans To Consider Alternative Energy Parks
If one looks at the population growth of America in different states, for example from 1990 to 2000 the State of Arizona nearly double in size. Tribes of Arizona near large urban cities like Tucson and Phoenix some of the towns like Chandler, Ahwatukee, Laveen, Maricopa, Chandler, Tempe, Scottsdale, Phoenix are buffering up to the reservations near within Maricopa and Pinal Counties. All this population growth has demands upon water, sewer, utilities, garbage, and more energy is most needed. More importantly, by the year 2016 all of America will need 70% more electricity. Tribes already have completed studies on alternative energy to see what will work for them within their reservation settings. Some tribes are making landmark efforts with one example of a California Tribe completely off grid not even connected to utility lines for energy they have established their own alternative energy efforts and what is key economically is they are no longer paying the near by off reservation utility company anymore revenues. This is how we build an economy keeping dollars within our reservations settings. If we do studies on the economies of our reservations we will see that for goods and services large portion of tribal dollars are spent off reservation rather then spent on reservation settings. Thus, we have poor economies on our reservations.
"States like that of Texas has put out a study "Growing the New Energy Economy in Texas." Summary of their Case Study: "Because of explosive growth in the renewable energy and green building sector, continued volatility in energy prices, and overwhelming business and natural resources assets, the State of Texas has a strong business case for developing the renewable energy industry to become a job-creation engine of the state's economy. Texas has created markets for renewable energy companies with aggressive public policy goals for renewable energy generation, supported these markets with transparent and predictable regulations for installation and grid connection, and in less than ten years has moved from a state with virtually no developed renewable energy to a world leader in wind power production. With its highly developed traditional energy industry and related high-tech clusters, significant renewable natural resources, and in its role as one of the largest drivers of economic growth in the U.S., the State of Texas has a natural competitive edge in the renewable energy industry. Yet growth in this industry has under performed Texas's assets. With the emerging nature of the renewable energy industry, there have been only the beginnings of a coordinated effort to support industrial development through economic development incentives, local market creation, and workforce development efforts.

Why This Study is Important
Because of these gaps between Texas's resources and its efforts in economic development, workforce development and policy, Texas has room to significantly improve upon its already healthy renewable energy industry. Economic development and workforce development policies work best with good information; this study tries to fill the gaps in information that would allow these groups to succeed in further building the support structures for renewable energy companies across the state. Ultimately, this study must drive collaboration between economic developers, policymakers, workforce developers, and universities and community colleges to address the challenges faced in building the renewable energy workforce of the state of Texas. This study is important because:
