County joins energy alliance over Sunflower plant expansion
The commission recommended approval of the permit as it notes the net CO2 emissions from the Sunflower expansion would stay under five million tons annually.

Kansas forms wind energy group amid policy debate
Sebelius launches a 35 member Kansas Energy Council to advise on energy policy, drawing praise for inclusive aims but criticism over size. The group, backed by Sunflower and partners, faces questions on influence, while parallel efforts from The Land Institute and Alliance for Sound Energy Policy promise input as legislators prepare energy plans for 2010. Separately, a three party agreement redraws the Jennie Barker Road area at a $4.15 million cost with KDOT funding most of the price and bids due in 2010.

The effort, part of the AIM Initiative funded by the Kansas Health Foundation, involves Wichita County and nearby communities and includes groups such as the AIM Committee and USD 467. Tammy Simons, a dietician and AIM chair, sees the program as a lifelong habit builder, not only weight loss. Luckett, who has lost about 150 pounds, emphasizes a holistic health approach beyond numbers.
