The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has continued to support efforts to make the 25x’25 national energy initiative a reality. The initiative is financially supported by the Energy Future Coalition and aims to obtain 25 percent of U.S. energy needs from agricultural and other renewable resources by the year 2025.
AEM is among more than 200 organizations that endorse the 25x’25 initiative and is one of the 70 national organizations that support the plan. In addition, to date, 13 state governors and four state legislatures have also signed on to show support for the energy goal, according to a press release from the AEM.
The AEM, along with the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association and North American Equipment Dealers Association, has sent a letter to U.S. senators and representatives, urging them to sponsor resolutions to make 25x’25 a national goal.
