Governor Dave Heineman is slated as one of the keynote speakers next month at the Nebraska Wind Power 2009 Conference. Scheduled for November 9th and 10th in Kearney, the conference will feature nationally known experts on wind and wind power and focus on numerous issues of vital interest to landowners seeking to capitalize on this opportunity to generate revenues from renewable energy.
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, wind energy is one of the fastest-growing forms of electricity generation in the world. The United States can currently generate more than 25,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity from the wind, which is enough to power about 7 million average American homes. Industry experts predict that, with proper development, wind energy could provide 20 percent of U.S. energy needs.
