Wind experts keynote 2008 Kearney conference

Nebraska

The Nebraska Wind Power 2008 Conference will be held in Kearney at the Holiday Inn Convention Center Nov. 11 and 12. Randy Udall, a leading promoter of wind energy and Susan Williams Sloan with the American Wind Energy Association will provide keynote addresses at the day and half conference.

The conference will also feature nationally known wind experts from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., industry exhibits, and expert panels on transmission, small wind, net metering, land owner issues, planning and zoning, and other areas of interest to wind supporters.

Pre-registration fees for the conference are $60 per person until November 1, and $75 per person registration after that and at the door. Student rates are $25. For more website and registration information:

The event is sponsored by the Nebraska Wind Working Group and the Nebraska Energy Office. The Nebraska Wind Working Group is a state and federal partnership funded by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the DOE's Wind Powering America to help develop the state's wind resources.

The NWWG is headed up by Sens. Cap Dierks and Don Preister, and Nebraska Farmers Union President John Hansen.

Sen. Dierks said, "We will have excellent commercial and information exhibits, and excellent state and national experts who will share the latest information on wind energy."

Sen. Preister said, "The program will provide participants the opportunity to ask conference speakers the questions important to them."

Hansen concluded, "In addition to information sharing, we hope Nebraska wind energy stakeholders will have the opportunity to get acquainted and share ideas on how we move our state forward with wind energy development. If you are interested in wind, you should come to Kearney."
