Developers have spent more than $11 billion bringing wind farms to more than 30 of the state’s 105 counties. Just drive across Kansas, and the changing landscape is inescapable: What once were wide open spaces, reserved for crops or cattle, are now home to wind farms, with turbines towering over the vista. In the past 10 years, more than 30 new wind farms — including several in eastern Kansas — have been built or proposed across the state.
