TITLE 17ENERGYCHAPTER 17-0125X'25 INITIATIVE17-01-01. 25x'25 initiative. The legislative assembly adopts the 25x'25 initiative with thegoal that not later than January 1, 2025, the agricultural, forestry, and working land of the United<br>States should provide from renewable resources not less than twenty-five percent of the total<br>energy consumed in the United States and continue to produce safe, abundant, and affordable<br>food, feed, and fiber. Increasing America's renewable energy use will bring new technologies to<br>market and save consumers money, reduce the nation's dependence on oil from the Middle<br>East, create good new jobs in rural America, and clean up the air and reduce urban smog and<br>address global warming issues. As used in this initiative, renewable energy includes biofuels,<br>solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, carbon recycling, carbon sequestration, use of waste heat,<br>recycling, low-emission technologies that create or use hydrogen, and energy efficiency<br>initiatives. The 25x'25 initiative will benefit agriculture and forestry, the environment, and national<br>security and provide economic growth.Page No. 1Document Outlinechapter 17-01 25x'25 initiative
