Do you think Kansas University should build turbines for wind energy?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on August 14, 2005
“Yes, I do. It's so windy here, and it's a waste not to use that natural resource. I know it would be expensive, but it would eventually be worth it in the end.”
— Bonni Higginbotham, teacher, Lawrence
“Yes. My friend owns Kansas Windpower, and he says that it's a great source of renewable energy.”
— Ron Hayes, estimator, Lawrence
“Sounds like a good idea. From what I've heard, windpower is an economically viable source of energy, so it should be exploited.”
— Robert Babcock, firefighter, Lawrence
“I guess you would have to balance it against how fast they could recoup the cost. If they could do it in a reasonable amount of time, then I say go for it.”
— Jerri Johnson, business owner, Lawrence
