From the Nebraska League of Conservation Voters:
On Monday, March 28, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Hardin Hall Auditorium (3310 Holdrege St., Lincoln), a coalition of community leaders will participate in a panel discussion about the benefits of wind power, and the anti-wind policies that have prevented wind development in Nebraska. The panel will discuss the recent vote taken by the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners that effectively prohibits the development of wind energy in Lancaster County. They will discuss the implications of that decision and how the coalition plans to get that decision reversed. The panel is hosted by the Nebraska League of Conservation Voters (NLCV) and is free and open to the public.
Those who are participating in the panel discussion include:
- Senator Ken Haar, Nebraska State Senator for Legislative District 21
- Lancaster County Commissioner Bill Avery, former State Senator for Legislative District 28
- John Hansen, President of the Nebraska Farmers Union
- John Markey, Business Manager and Financial Secretary for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 265
- Greg Schwaninger, Lancaster County Landowner
- Eliot Bostar, Executive Director of the Nebraska League of Conservation Voters
