A comprehensive energy plan for Kansas For Kansas to take the next step toward a clean energy future, we must have a clear picture of where we’d like to be. That’s why my administration has worked with legislators, consumers and industry stakeholders to develop a vision for a comprehensive energy plan. Recently, the Kansas Energy Council confirmed that we have adequate electricity to power us for years into the future. Meanwhile, this plan will help us bridge the gap until the day when clean coal technology is a reality, not just rhetoric. Our plan is based on three priorities: promote the generation
of clean, renewable energy; lead the way in energy efficiency efforts in state buildings;
and create jobs and attract businesses in the new green economy.
