I took a trip recently to the wind farm under construction in
Lincoln County Kansas. I came away with a great sense of joy. You see,
back in 1977 I was the Editor and Publisher of Alternate Energy
Magazine. I remember the hand drawn cover of the June 1977 issue in
which we crudely showed what I thought the future would look like.
 It
was just our second issue of the fledgling magazine and in my editorial
I was elated at President Jimmy Carter's, statement, "the nation would
be waging the moral equivalent of war on the energy crisis". I pointed
out in my editorial that technology will slow down the energy crunch,
but it "will take a change in people's attitudes to solve our energy use
problems".
I
was
impressed to see the
Smoky Hill Wind
Farm rising on the Kansas Hills. I was glad to
see, thirty years later that the change in attitude, the real solution
to the problem was finally sweeping over the nation.
It
was recently reported in the Salina Journal that installation of the
turbines began in September of 2007. The first phase of the project
covers 10,000 acres and stretches nearly 10 miles from east to west
along Interstate Highway 70. A second phase, which doesn't have a firm
starting date, will bring the totals to 22,000 acres and 15 miles.
The first phase will generate about 100 megawatts of
electricity annually, which is enough to power 30,000 to 35,000 homes.
The second phase would add another 150 megawatts of capacity.
Bonnie and I
climbed into our Toyota Prius and zipped back to Salina at 52 miles per
gallon, having thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Lincoln county.
Promoting recycled paper is the one
substantial thing we can do as the owners of a Printing Company in North
central Kansas. The reduced energy and water use really does make a
difference. It is all about attitude and in my opinion, the attitude of
Americans is changing rapidly. It is a long time since I published that
magazine back in 1977 but it is never to late!
