The concept of fuel cell use on farms and better utilizing our water resources for energy production are excellent examples that show tremendous promise for bringing environmentally sound and cost-effective energy production to the agricultural industry. There are currently 39,000 farms in New York State, a number that has increased since 1995. From electric generation shortages to weather extremes wreaking havoc on our aging power distribution system, we've entered an era of great uncertainty with regards to the reliability of our electricity supply. There's really no good way to predict when an outage will occur or how long it will last. But there are things that you can do to prepare you and your family for the uncertain times ahead.
Prudent preparation is always the best insurance against the unknown.
