As Midwestern states consider a range of policies to promote development of wind energy, a number of regional issues must be taken into consideration, and collaboration with neighboring states will play an important role in developing a successful state and regional wind program. The Wind Institute provides participants with the opportunity to meet experts in the wind energy field and share ideas with colleagues from surrounding states in order to develop effective wind energy policies. |
