A bill repealing renewable energy standards for utility companies won approval in the Kansas Senate on Tuesday.
House Bill 2014 would
end the renewable portfolio standards that require Kansas utility
companies to receive 20 percent of their energy from renewable sources
by 2020.
The vote was 25-15. The bill now goes to the House.
Sen.
Forrest Knox, R-Altoona, who carried the bill, contended that repeal
was necessary because of the expiration of a federal tax credit for wind
production. He said Kansans would be stuck making up for the loss of
that tax break in their electric bills.
