Chad Taylor on Energy & Oil

 

 


"Wind cowboys" maintain fields of windmills in west Kansas

Energy is the 800-pound gorilla in the room. Without an intelligent domestic energy infrastructure, our country is set up for failure. As Kansans, we need to invest in a patchwork solution and abandon the notion that one energy source will meet our demands indefinitely. It is critical to consider every option before us in determining how to responsibly generate power and prosperity, and incorporate the potential of our economy.

We have highly-skilled engineers and tradesmen in Wichita who can build new turbines, and new economies. The "wind cowboys" (and cowgirls) being trained at our state's technical schools can service and maintain the fields of windmills in western Kansas. The farmers of our state will reap the rewards of land leases that pay for these natural power plants in the short term.

And we are not even close to fulfilling our potential. Kansas has the second-highest wind potential of any state in the country.
