The city of Greensburg, Kansas, is rebuilding as a model green community with the help of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). After Greensburg was devastated by a tornado in 2007, DOE committed renewable energy and energy efficiency technical assistance valued at $2.15 million to redevelop the rural community. DOE and NREL are assisting Greensburg with incorporating ambitious renewable energy and energy efficiency strategies to realize the town's vision of becoming an affordable sustainable community.
