Evergy, the electricity provider for eastern Kansas and western Missouri, announced their plan to reduce carbon emissions by 80 percent over the coming decades. My understanding is that Kansas already has the largest percentage of their power from wind energy compared to every other state in the US and this would add several large wind farms to their existing portfolio.
While I personally would prefer that this plan included provisions to prematurely retire the coal power plants, I’m happy with the plan to not deploy new coal plants.
