Saulsgiver is challenging the Madison Central School District to "Empower the Future!" The project will introduce students to alternative energy resources and the importance of energy conservation. High school students will assemble model energy kits and advise elementary school students on the mechanics of solar, wind, hydro, and other energy resources. In addition, students will install a small wind turbine and solar panel kit. A life-size powerhouse will be constructed and connected to turbine and panels for students to explore the dynamics of renewable energy. Teachers will be able to integrate selections of the Alternative Energy Environmental Studies Program into current curriculum. "Empower the Future!" is also sponsored by the SUNY Morrisville College's Renewable Energy Training Center and the Oneida-Madison Electric Cooperative. Saulsgiver resides in Earlville.
