25x'25 - Rural Energy
The national 25x'25 Alliance of farmers, foresters and ranchers http://www.25x25.org/ has adopted the following vision:
"By 2025, America's farms, forests and ranches will provide 25 percent of the total energy consumed in the United States, while continuing to produce safe, abundant, and affordable food, feed and fiber."
Many states have developed state-level groups working to support this vision. The state of Washington has already reached this goal. 25.4 percent of the total energy consumed in Washington is both rural and renewable. Washington should consider adopting a stretch vision for 2025. The report titled Estimating the Contribution of Rural Energy Sources to Washington State’s Energy Production and Consumption provides a detailed analysis of Washington's energy data. It was authored by Stacey Waterman-Hoey, November 2009.
