Lt. Gov. Mark Parkinson will be one of the panelists at a public forum at 6 p.m. today at Wichita State University designed to “engage the community in an honest discussion of Kansas energy policy, green energy options and potential green energy solutions in Kansas.â€
The panel also includes Bill Wentz, WSU distinguished engineering professor emeritus; state Sen. Donald Betts, D-Wichita; and Kay Johnson, director of Wichita’s Department of Environmental Health.
The event will be held in Hubbard Hall, Room 209.
Our editorial today notes that while the focus on Earth Day tends to be on what individuals can do, it’s much easier for average citizens to get involved in ecofriendly practices if their community encourages green living and makes it affordable and convenient. Unfortunately, Wichita doesn’t have a good record on that, particularly on recycling.

Wonder how many kilowatts were consumed hosting this blog and by all the bloggers blogging?
Not one of the panelists have any knowledge of the environment other than the PC BS.
Actually hank, Engineering’s Wentz does have knowledge in the field. He interacts with those in Geology, Meterology Environmental Science etc. Where he might have some additional expertise in in applying engineering to developing better energy management methods.
HLP.. I’ll see ya there and you can straighten us all out…
I won’t be there, when they started talking ‘green’ this morning I thought it was St Patrick’s day again.
Boy, was I disapointed.
Nuclear is the answer?
I cannot be there. I hope the Eagle gives us a detailed account of the event.
American - I would include nuclear (recycled) as a part of the solution. I would also like to see Sunflower prove their ‘magic algae’ that they tout so much.
My ‘recycled’ nuclear would use decommissioned warheads back-mixed with depleted uranium as the fuel. ‘Zero net new nuclear waste’. I have been told that we have centuries of fuel available,
