Kansas Lt Gov backs wind energy over coal growth
Kansas Lt Gov Mark Parkinson told about 500 at the Kansas Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Conference that wind power offers cheaper long term energy than coal. He cited National Renewable Energy Laboratory studies, noted Kansas has potential for about 7,000 megawatts, and highlighted a Smoky Hills wind farm purchase as part of a growing wind sector while coal plants seek state permits. Environmental groups urge siting standards and more energy efficiency to curb pollution and preserve prairie.
