New energy group looks to promote job creation

Local labor unions, community and farm organizers, and environmental groups announced today the creation of a Kansas chapter of the Blue Green Alliance.


The formation of the Kansas Blue Green Alliance comes on the heels of a report from the Renewable Energy Policy Project, which projected that more than 425 Kansas could manufacture parts for renewable energy technologies.


Partners in the project include Kansas AFL-CIO, The Land Institute, Kansas Rural Center, Kansas FarmersUnion, the Great Plains Alliance for Clean Energy and the Sierra Club, among others.


The report from the REPP, a nonpartisan research group, forecasts that Kansas could gain 11,000 new jobs in the renewable energy, with Sedgwick County tagged as one of the areas poised to benefit the most.


““The development of a renewable energy economy in Kansas will use our abundant wind resource to produce clean energy – increasing our energy independence while protecting the health and environment of Kansas citizens,” Stephanie Cole of the Sierra Club said in a release.


The Kansas Blue Green Alliance is a state chapter of the national partnership of the United Steelworkers, Communications Workers of America, Natural Resources Defense Council and the Sierra Club. The organization seeks to create programs that promote green technologies and economic policies.
