KANSAS COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY POLICY PROPOSAL - CEP

The Climate & Energy Project has just released a policy paper titled "Solutions - Moving Toward a Sound Comprehensive Energy Policy for Kansas". During the battle over the Holcomb coal generating stations, (and upcoming in the 2009 Legislative session), understanding the range of complex issues and balancing priorities and options became very difficult. In a commendable effort to be pro-active, CEP has offered this good attempt at navigating just what a comprehensive energy policy would look like.
Our state deserves a comprehensive energy policy that -

* Makes the most of Kansas resources - wind, solar, and biomass.
* Creates jobs and builds our economy.
* Protects Kansas ratepayers against rising, volatile fossil fuel prices.
* Gets maximum energy from least cost efficiency.
* Guards the health of citizens and our environment.
* Reduces fuel imports and increases the state's energy security and independence.
