Welcome to the Rural National Defense Initiative (RNDI)
THE RURAL SOLUTION
. . . IS THE RNDI MISSION
The Rural National Defense Initiative, (RNDI) advocates for critical U.S. national-defense and homeland-security considerations associated with large-scale infrastructure projects proposed in the United States, and specifically, where – geographically – such projects are most advantageous militarily, and best positioned or "equipped," to ensure mission success: Western and Rural America.
the SECURITY ASSETS
It's that simple. The geography of Rural America is the only place where true dispersion / decentralization of U.S. data centers and campuses can happen. It is where the most demanding mission requirements can best be met: the need for open land, acreage, and continuously-harvestable energy resources capable of generating and providing massive power requirements and reserves.
*Of note: These assets further represent a multitude of new and unprecedented opportunities for rural states, local governments, individual farmers, ranchers, and agrarian communities alike.
OUR WORK
RNDI promulgates verifiable facts, cited data material, published studies and research work, subject matter expert (SME) interviews, and both industry-based and independent news reports particular to specifically-proposed projects and initiatives representing the RNDI-advocated "rural solution" – where the support of a local community – real people too often referred to as "stakeholders" (please stop) – is needed to engender votes of final approval to proceed from local government officials. We utilize the RNDI website's source library and state- or locality-specific RNDI micro-websites populated with our collection of the above referenced materials to engage people and interests online, via video platforms, new and/or existing social media pages, and other online advertising. RNDI and partners can also advance information campaigns that include in-person engagements and canvassing, direct mail, and/or other messaging-delivery strategies.
