Kansas community wind workshop accessed in UlyssesKansas Kansas ranks third of all states in the United States in wind energy potential. Yet other states like Iowa and Minnesota, with much less potential, far exceed Kansas in wind turbine installation. Why has Kansas spent so little time and effort developing this renewable resource? This question and more will be answered at the "Kansas Community Wind Workshop." The workshop on Oct. 31 will originate from Cloud County Community College in Concordia, but Ulysses will also host a remote ITV videoconference site at the Pioneer Communications classroom for the convenience of interested persons in southwest Kansas. The program is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It will feature speakers from successful wind energy efforts in Minnesota and Iowa. Panel discussions will feature Joe King, Coriolis Community Wind Tool kit; Joe Harkins, Special Assistant to Governor Sebielus; Ken Frahm, Kansas Energy Council; representatives from the Kansas Electric Cooperatives and Kansas Municipal Utilities, and Kansas legislators. The workshop is being sponsored and organized by the Kansas Rural Center, Kansas Farm Bureau, Kansas Farmer's Union, Kansas Energy Office, Wind Powering America, the CCCC and the Kansas Board of regents. To pre-register to attend the remote site in Ulysses individuals need to contact the Grant County Research and Extension office at 620-356-1721 before 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 27. Registration fee is $15 and covers lunch and materials. For more information contact the Grant County Research and Extension Office. Date: 10/26/06
