The cooperative plans to use this teaching tool to increase energy use awareness and stimulate energy con servation by the members of the cooperative and the general public. Adams Electric’s General Manager Charles L. Overman summarized, “Our new simulator will help fill the need for adequate distribution of useful energy technology to the public. Yorkshires and Chester Whites, as well. Although he expects to sell some of his animals for breeding stock, Gordon expects to fatten most of the 2800 pigs bom on the farm each year. Most of the hogs will spend their lives under a roof, but Gordon said he may establish dirt lots for the breeding stock. Adams Electric co-op offers energy program MARVIN J.

We hope we receive many requests for this new program.” ■ The simulator will illustrate the energy situation as it currently exists for the individual farm owner. In addition, it allows the participants to compare the alternative actions they can take and view the results. Adding more insulation to buildings will unjnediately show results in energy savings and costs. Other areas of energy use such as heating, gasoline, lighting, etc., are also programmed into the simulator to show results in similar fashion. The simulator will show energy use changes such as growth, time elapse and energy resources depletion. This public service program is available to anyone throughout the cooperative’s service area and beyond. Anyone in terested in scheduling this programis invited to contact Gil Evans, director of Energy Use Services at (717) 334-9211 or the nearest office of Adams Electric Cooperative for further information.
