ASERTTI Supports
Agriculture Energy Programs via Economic Recovery
Package
ASERTTI recently joined a number of other
organizations in requesting that Congress support
strong funding for agriculture-based clean energy
development programs in the economic recovery
package to help resuscitate our nation’s economy and
create hundreds of thousands of well-paying jobs.
The three-part recommendation includes: (1) provide
at least $1.2 billion a year in mandatory
supplemental appropriations for important Farm Bill
Energy Title programs; (2) extend the federal
Production Tax Credits (PTC) for renewable energy,
cellulosic biofuels, and biomass for five years;
and, (3) extend and expand successful clean
renewable energy and conservation bond programs
which provide PTC-like incentives for electric
cooperatives, public power, and municipalities to
build new renewable energy facilities and invest in
energy efficiency. To view the complete letter,
