Kansas Wind Working Group: Identifying obstacles to
and opportunities from the development of Kansas wind energy.
“Iraq and a lot of the skirmishes we are in are about energy. And I think, to put it in a nutshell, we feel it makes more sense to put wind turbines on our prairie instead of our fine young men and women under the prairie."
Kirk Lowell, Concordia KS - home to Meridian Way wind farm
