Kansas Rural Center et. al. : "Clean Energy Day" at Topeka

IS RURAL ENERGY AUTONOMY

ABOUT TO TAKE A KNOCKOUT PUNCH

FROM BIG COAL & BIG ENERGY?

POWERFUL ECONOMIC INTERESTS IN KANSAS ARE ONCE AGAIN CRUSHING GRASSROOT INCENTIVES FOR TRUE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE.

Kansas is one of a minority of states which does not allow individuals, businesses or small communities to "net - meter" to produce electrical energy and sell it back to the grid. The electric utility companies, including several "rural electric cooperatives" are opposed to "net - metering." Why would they want to have to buy back locally generated power at 150% from the little folks? Because it's more profitable for Big Energy in windy Kansas, better to charge the hell out of the little people, as any other monopoly.

A recent news release from the Kansas Rural Center is directing citizens' attention toward the March 11, 2008 "Clean Energy Day" at Topeka, Ks. - click the link above -
