Wind now cranks up more kilowatts than any other power source in the state. Yet even as towering turbines and their slow-churning blades come to increasingly define the Kansas landscape, a counter movement seems to take hold. A bill pending in the Kansas Legislature would all but outlaw the erection of more of those giant turbines by saying that companies couldn’t place them within a mile and a half of an existing building. The legislation would also bar new wind farms within three miles from any airport and one mile from the property line of anybody not participating in the development.
