Governor Sees National RES Boost for Kansas Wind
Governor Mark Parkinson told about 700 attendees at the Kansas Wind and Renewable Energy Conference that a strong national renewable electricity standard would be a major boon for Kansas wind development. He urged the Kansas delegation to back the measure, noting wind belt advantages and potential for states lacking wind resources to buy from Kansas. The House approved a climate bill including the RES earlier this summer.

Rainforest offsets could save U S firms billions, report says
A Commission on Climate and Tropical Forests report argues U S companies could save about 50 billion by funding rainforest preservation in Brazil and Indonesia rather than cleaning domestic emissions. It cites potential 60 billion in investments from 2012 to 2020 achieving similar global cuts, avoiding 110 billion in U S remedies. The finding aims to influence Senate climate debate and a December Copenhagen meeting.
