SUN AND WIND
SUN AND WIND

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.

Solar

With more sunny days than Florida, Kansas has untapped solar potential. Increased solar growth would grow the clean-energy economy, reduce utility bills, and promote grid resiliency. Climate + Energy Project and members of the Clean Energy Business Council have been leading the charge to fight against unfair policies that thwart solar adoption. Looking ahead, CEP will continue to advocate for fair energy policies that will increase access to widespread solar adoption. Don’t block the sun on Kansas!

Wind

Kansas leads the nation in wind energy production, and there is plenty of potential to grow. With over 40% of our total electricity produced by wind power, we’ve reduced emissions in the power sector by 40% since 2001. Research suggests that Kansas could support 200,000 more wind turbines — more than triple what Kansas has in 2021.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is the use of less energy to provide the same or better products, services, or amenities. Increasing efficiency allows more control over energy use, lowers costs, and provides multiple benefits for households, businesses, and the environment. Using less energy reduces pollution and climate risks.

Clean energy business council

The Clean Energy Business Council (CEBC) is a network of companies and organizations working to expand opportunities for renewable energy and energy efficiency as practical solutions for economic growth.
