CHAPTER 17-01
25X'25 INITIATIVE
17-01-01. 25x'25 initiative.
The legislative assembly adopts the 25x'25 initiative with the goal that not later than
January 1, 2025, the agricultural, forestry, and working land of the United States should provide
from renewable resources not less than twenty-five percent of the total energy consumed in the
United States and continue to produce safe, abundant, and affordable food, feed, and fiber.
Increasing America's renewable energy use will bring new technologies to market and save
consumers money, reduce the nation's dependence on oil from the Middle East, create good
new jobs in rural America, and clean up the air and reduce urban smog and address global
warming issues. As used in this initiative, renewable energy includes biofuels, solar, wind,
hydropower, geothermal, carbon recycling, carbon sequestration, use of waste heat, recycling,
low-emission technologies that create or use hydrogen, and energy efficiency initiatives. The
25x'25 initiative will benefit agriculture and forestry, the environment, and national security and
provide economic growth.
