New Nebraska wind-energy group forms

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP)--Two of Nebraska's largest agriculture groups have joined forces to make sure farmers and ranchers get a fair shake in wind-energy deals and to break down barriers to the development of big wind farms.

The new group, the Nebraska Energy Export Association, held a news conference Oct. 13 at the Capitol. The group includes representatives from the Nebraska Farm Bureau and Nebraska Cattlemen.

The association cited a Harvard University report that says Nebraska ranks fourth among states in wind-energy potential, but ranks 22nd in actual wind-energy production.

Andy Pollock, the attorney for the new association, said it wants to put Nebraska in a position where it can compete, should export markets for wind energy develop.
