Kansas House Bill 2273 Update
February 22, 2019

After an hour and a half of debate, the House Energy, Utilities & Telecommunications Committee voted down HB 2273, which would have added prohibitive set backs for commercial wind turbines, and attempted to stop wind development in Kansas. It also would’ve restricted local counties from making decisions about wind energy opportunities within their communities.

Recording of the hearing can be found here.

Coverage of the hearings can be found at the Topeka Captial-Journal online and the Dodge City Daily Globe.

Thank you to everyone who took action and made their voice heard on this bill!

Wind Energy: A Wildlife Biologist’s Take

As a wildlife biologist, I think that the impacts of commercial-scale land-based wind farms on wildlife have been significantly reduced, and that guidelines and regulatory measures are in place to reduce these impacts further. I am also convinced that climate change impacts wildlife much more than well-regulated wind farms.

In the face of the climate crisis, both the sun and wind are sources of new blessing. By harvesting solar energy from the sun in solar panels and harnessing the power of the wind with wind turbines, both sun and wind have become tremendous sources of clean and sustainable energy.
