Kansas is second nationally for wind energy potential and fifth for solar energy potential (1). Investing in clean and renewable energy serves several purposes. We protect the environment, create short-term and long-term jobs, and provide a more stable energy source, becoming less dependent on foreign oil.
We need to harvest our wind and solar power so future generations will enjoy clean air and water.
