Protecting mother earth

DENVER – Every day, countries, states and cities pass laws that require or allow for the reduction of fossil fuels. Some do it to save the oil reserves; others do it with health issues, the environment and the future in mind.

Denmark and Germany lead the world in wind power generation, China is now working toward wind power, France requires more bio-fuel use in government vehicles, and the state of New York just upped its requirement on state vehicle use of bio-fuels. In the new energy bill just signed into law, increased use of bio-fuels in federal vehicles is planned.
Ethanol plants are cropping up everywhere, farmers are getting into the act by growing crops that can be turned into ethanol and are using methane for energy production on their own farms. Stand-alone wind and solar power generation can be seen dotting the landscape on family-owned farms.

A collective group of farmers formed ”25 x ‘25 Vision,” which has a mission of providing 25 percent of the total energy consumed in the United States by 2025 from a variety of crops.
