Reaping the Rewards of Energy Efficiency: Money-Saving Measures for the Livestock Sector
Date: Tuesday, May 1, 2012
Time: 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm ET
Energy efficiency has always been the option of first choice for 25x’25 in achieving a clean energy future. The energy derived from efficiency measures and conservation is one of the most affordable, available and reliable forms of energy, and for farmers, it can mean big savings. According to the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), the potential energy and cost savings achieved through technology and production practices that are already commercially available amount to a conservative estimate of more than 34 trillion Btus and 1 billion dollars per year.
Our farms, ranches and forests hold the keys to a more sustainable energy future. They also have the opportunity to play a key leadership role in seizing energy efficiency opportunities provided that we maintain stable policies that support efficiency and innovation.
Our webinar experts will explain how taking advantage of on-farm energy efficiency improvements can not only bring us closer to achieving the 25x’25 goal, but also benefit livestock and dairy producers by providing real money-saving measures while making contributions to reducing our dependence on foreign oil, protecting the environment and public health, and providing economic gains for rural America.
