About Nebraska Renewable Energy Come to Life
We had a project going here at this College with Jim gutter and it was injecting or testing gasohol ethanol in an irrigation engine that’s quite a while ago but pardon me they’ll have to deal with my raspy voice I have a respiratory thing going on but.
It was part of the research and testing that was very useful so look what you’ve been part of the ethanol industry today nationally and then Nebraska so as co-chair of the the Nebraska wind and solar conference I need to really encourage you to come to the the Nebraska women solar conference in La Vista October.
We will have a tremendous program there for two days then have national speakers we will have nebraska renewable energy regional will cover transmission wind solar multiple tracks you’ll have public power folks from Nebraska and some federal energy officials there so please please come to that the reason I’m co-chair of the conference comes from.
The other hats I wear the nebraska renewable energy well from the wind American corn growers on the noel Nebraska facilitator win for schools now they look down at the lower right part of that slide.
You’re a Nebraska Renewable Energy Expert
You probably think you’re seeing two forms of renewable energy stain able forms of renewable energy wind helping power an ethanol plant up in Minnesota but you’re actually seeing three because without solar done you wouldn’t have either corn or wind and so.
you’ve got three forms there Nebraska Renewable Energy now when we talk about ethanol and wind energy they have a number of things in common and a lot of it is policy and I’ve been involved in the policy arena my entire career the two things that are parallel here are.
The Renewable Fuels standard for ethanol and the production tax credit PTC for wind energy both of them had to be passed by Congress I remember when American corn growers was pushing the Renewable Fuels standard.
