Kansas Governor Proposes New Energy Initiative

Governor Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kan.) announced the legislative initiative for a comprehensive energy plan.  The plan will have a significant green energy focus including net metering and renewable energy.  The plan's major components include a comprehensive net metering initiative.  The net metering package would allow homeowners and small businesses to run the meter backward to zero at full cost.  The plan also includes codification of the state's voluntary Renewable Energy Portfolio and calls for an increase in wind production investment.
