By com parison, the federal government grants such on farm distillate permits for the fee of $25. Lamm sees the state’s exorbitant licensing fee as the most formidable barrier holding up do-it yourself farm fuels for machinery usage. Several bills are in the Harrisburg legislative hopper that are designed to lower that fee. One such bill would set the fee at $25 and limit the production to five thousand gallons. Another energy alter native that is feasible, says Lamm, are “low head dams.” Designed mostly for use on good-sized streams, the dams have a breast of only 15 to 25 feet in height. Allis-Chalmers cor poration’s turbine division in York is interested in working toward the development of small-water-supply hydro plants. Lamm says he sees this energy source as having great potential in the mountainous northern sections of the state. Rural electric representatives Bill Matson told the Agri-Women audience that, although several alternate forms of energy are possible and receiving lots of public moral support, systems using solar and wind energy, and small hydro plants still need back-up generating facilities. He is personally not an overwhelming "ad vocate of nuclear in stallations.
