Goals and Objectives

The specific goals and objectives of the Wind Energy Institute, a division of the Renewable Energy Institute, a Texas 501 (c) 3 corporation shall be:

  1. To expand the use of wind power, wind energy and other renewable energy technologies in the United States and around the world.
  2. To end America's dependence on unstable, unsustainable foreign sources of energy, and make the United States energy independent.
  3. To lead and formulate public policy that promotes greater use of renewable energy.
  4. To lead the research and development of new wind energy technologies that lead to patents and the ability to license the renewable energy technologies we develop and invest.
  5. To coordinate the research and development of renewable energy between universities so as to minimize redundancy and maximize results.
  6. To facilitate and promote dialog between universities and professors in the free flow of research to enhance results and breakthroughs in renewable energy research and development.
  7. To educate and inform the public, including stakeholders that include residential, commercial, industrial and governmental organizations who are consumers of power and energy, the many benefits and uses of renewable energy.
  8. The Wind Energy Institute will promote higher energy and electric power efficiencies and wind energy technologies including: wind farms, community wind farms, compressed air energy storage.
  9. The Wind Energy Institute will promote Carbon Capture and Sequestration (also referred to as Carbon Dioxide Sequestration) technologies.
  10. To adopt and aggressively promote a goal of providing the U.S. with 25% of its power and energy requirements from wind energy sources by 2025, and 30% by 2030. Texas will lead the way with a goal of providing 30% of its power and energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2020.
  11. To seek funding, investments and donations for the Wind Energy Institute from concerned citizens, organizations and companies that will fund the WEI's grants, research and development.
  12. To seek and develop strategic partners/partnerships that share and advance our common goals.
  13. To seek out qualified companies and people that want to utilize our products and services under our license.
  14. To provide Engineering Feasibility and Economic Analysis studies for customers - through a separate entity affiliated with the Wind Energy Institute.
  15. To develop wind energy projects on behalf of customers - through a separate entity affiliated with the Wind Energy Institute.
  16. To remain committed as a trusted supplier of research, development and technologies and be committed as a "vendor-neutral" resource of information until such time we identify "optimum" companies, products and/or technologies.
  17. To promote and integrate the use of wind energy and wind power technologies in creating "sustainable communities," "renewable energy districts" and "green buildings."
  18. To be committed to ending global warming, eliminating carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, and advance technologies such as carbon dioxide sequestration to end global climate change.
  19. To provide leadership, research and education in updating/re-building our national power grid and transforming it to the "transmission superhighway" that America needs. The transmission superhighway will efficiently move wind energy and renewable energy from sites where the renewable energy is generated, to markets and load centers. Simultaneously, the nation's new transmission superhighway must also integrate related technologies such as Demand Side Management and Automated Demand Response as comprehensive solutions to make our grid "smart" while also reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
  20. As an integral part of our education goals, the Wind Energy Institute will publish the online magazine that will be called the Wind Energy Magazine.
