In the past year, the Indiana state government has begun to work on making Reynolds a "self-sufficient" community, able to subsist almost entirely on locally produced alternative energy. As part of the effort, some of its vehicles have been changed to ethanol and biodiesel and are using animal waste to produce energy.
