NFU Supports Obama on Clean Energy Efforts

The National Farmers Union is voicing its support for the Obama administration's clean energy efforts. The administration promoted the opportunities for renewable energy to be sourced from the agriculture sector at the White House Clean Energy Forum that was held last week.

NFU President Roger Johnson says the Clean Energy Forum, combined with the wide range of renewable energy announcements, highlights the Administration's efforts to help rural America build a clean energy economy. According to Johnson, NFU members have long supported renewable energy production from our nation's farms and ranches and the Clean Energy Forum highlighted the opportunities that exist for agriculture.

The forum discussed renewable energy opportunities for rural communities and the Obama administration's efforts to help rural America build a clean energy economy that creates jobs, reduces our dependence on foreign oil and enhances our position in the global economy.
