Here’s How Kansas is Limiting Wind Farms

What’s happening? Kansas is considering SB 279 (2021 | KS). Currently Kansas gets 41% of its energy supply from wind. Makes sense, I’ve seen the Wizard of Oz. This bill will limit where wind turbines can be built. Imagine wind farms are strip clubs or bars and pull out your measuring tape, because this bill would limit wind farms to  least 1.5 miles from a home, 3 miles from an airport or park, and one mile from another person’s property line.

How is this important? It is a model for those who seek to limit wind energy.

Why will this be important? Limiting where businesses or resources can be built or collected isn’t unique to Kansas or wind energy.
