1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Leveraging Efficiency Awareness for Pumping Systems Act or the LEAPS Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) There are over 600,000 pumping systems used for irrigation on agricultural land in the United States, many of which still rely on fossil fuels. (2) Improving the efficiency of agricultural irrigation pumping systems can save up to 22 billion kilowatt hours of energy per year and eliminate 8.3 million metric tons of carbon emissions annually. (3) Energy savings from electrifying agricultural irrigation pumping systems can save farmers and ranchers more than $1.8 billion annually in energy costs. (4) Pumping systems play a central role in the watering of livestock and the management of animal waste in every State. (5) Pumping systems are a critical component of the Nation’s $2,300,000,000 aquaculture industry. (6) Improving the efficiency of pumping systems used in raising livestock and fish can significantly reduce energy use, save producers millions of dollars annually, and provide meaningful reductions in carbon emissions. (7) Agricultural irrigation pumping systems utilizing plastic piping can provide significant drought relief benefits, dramatically reducing water losses from evaporation and seepage; agriculture uses 37 percent of the Nation’s surface and ground water, 30 percent of which is lost to seepage and evaporation. (8) Reducing the friction in piping used for agricultural irrigation and livestock watering can provide meaningful energy and cost savings
