The “Moo”ve to Renewable Energy in Kentucky Begins with the Dairy Industry

Note Written By: Lucero Tennis

In this note, author Lucero Tennis discusses the prospects of a successful move toward the use of renewable energy in Kentucky by way of the Commonwealth’s dairy industry. Kentucky is uniquely positioned, as a viable player in the dairy industry, to segue into the renewable energy game by utilizing already established industry resources. The ability to successfully implement renewable energy in Kentucky is contingent upon the availability of start-up funds from the government, the incentives for farmers to move toward renewable energy, and the ability to successfully curate wealth.
