Jim Baerg was invited to present testimony before the Energy and Telecommunications Interim Committee of the Montana State Legislature in Helena on January 14th. He focused his remarks on the financial benefits of energy conservation to homeowners, the need to strengthen the energy code and the best use of Stimulus funding to effectively stimulate local economies.
Imagine, as a market gardener, growing fresh, organic food all year in Montana without any fossil fuels. Tomatoes into November and December, new greens starting in February. These off season crops offer higher profit margins because the alternative for consumers is the tired produce in the grocery stores.
