Brownback hosts energy summit in Kansas

Brownback hosts energy summit in Kansas

Policy makers, business executives and academics gathered October 4 in Wichita, Kansas, for a renewable energy summit convened by the state's governor, Sam Brownback.

Brownback said he will use information gathered at the event to craft a green energy action plan for the state.

"Kansas will expand its energy production in a responsible, smart, balanced approach that grows our state's economy, creates jobs and protects our environment," Brownback said in a statement issued by the governor's office.

The 2-day event's first day agenda included breakout sessions on community/small wind development, transmission and biomass/biofuels.

Dave Lucas, vice president of energy and sales for Siemens Energy, said aging infrastructure is holding Kansas back from fulfilling its green energy potential, the Wichita Eagle reported. The newspaper said Lucas' point was echoed by Steve Rus, executive vice president of Black & Veatch. Transmission technology moves generated green energy to the national grid.

Lucas pointed out that Kansas ranks second in the nation for wind power potential but 14th for wind energy production, according to the Eagle.

In August, Brownback announced his goal of making Kansas the "Renewable State" and called for federal wind power tax credits to encourage development, the Hutchinson News reported.
