Nebraska, like Texas, has oodles of potential for generating wind electricity from electricity wind. Could you ever see Nebraska taking on a wind power initiative like Texas' $5 billion project? Is it even a type of "green" energy worth the money, or should we put our money elsewhere if we're going to spend that kind of dough?

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
I love the idea of wind farms. Are they the BEST or most EFFICIENT alternative power source? I have absolutely no idea. Probably not. However, it seems to me that the wind a) costs nothing, and b) using it does not harm the earth.
Why wouldn’t we use it? I mean - maybe there are reasons not to (other than visual NIMBY issues) but I don’t know what they are. Feel free to enlighten me someone.
Question: How do you generate wind from electricity? Um, a fan? LOL!
I think that first sentence should read, “potential for generating ELECTRICITY from WIND” ... unless you are purposefully making a funny. 😉
I gotch yo back!
Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbb!
I think there are great places in Nebraska for wind farms. Let’s just be smart about it, and not ruin good agricultural land to do it. Farming is our bread (get it?) and butter. Look at the Sandhills - plenty of room, plenty of wind, and very, very hard to grow anything there, even with a mess of center pivots. That would make sense for a wind farm.
Hey Mr. W - any chance you’ll ever re-code this place to make the posts stand out in yellow if they are posts that are new since the last time a person visited? That was a great feature, I thought.
Love this place!
I also believe that there is great potential for wind energy in Nebraska. However, that might entail having to build new transmission lines from the sandhills and other wind-heavy areas to the large markets like Lincoln and Omaha, which could be expensive. Still, I am for it and we need to start planning this stuff NOW.
I am also a proponent of nuclear energy. Its safe, and generates massive amounts of electricity without the greenhouse gas emissions of fossil fuels.
