NFu and other ag groups want RES in senate package
The Senate’s pending energy legislation doesn’t include a Renewable Electricity Standard that would provide significant opportunity for investment in ag and rural communities according to National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson. NFU supports an RES and wrote to Senate leadership with other ag groups about the critical importance of including a 25-percent RES as the Senate considers the energy legislation.Johnson says the coalition is disappointed with Majority Leader Harry Reid’s omission of an RES from the legislation - saying including the provisions will help America’s drive toward energy independence, reinvigorate rural communities through job growth and income generation for ag.
Johnson states America’s farmers and ranchers support the opportunity to increase energy production under an RES and the Senate should have an opportunity to vote for it.
