NRES has partnered with Tighe Biodiesel of Springfield, Nebraska to
construct the first integrated cellulose ethanol and biodiesel production
facility in Nebraska. This project is currently under construction and will
be located on a farm in Sarpy County, Nebraska. This facility will utilize
used vegetable oils and oils obtained from an integrated oilseed crushing
facility...

What is the major problem utilities have
in connecting Nebraskans to their grid?
An OPPD lobbyist recently answered
this question for us when he stated:
ENERGY FROM THE FARM IS COMPETITION
This statement sheds alot of light on how
Public Power views the public making power.
We here at NRES disagree!!!!

NPPD erects three skystream wind turbines to 'showcase' small wind
systems at their new Norfolk facility. While on the surface, this seems to
be a great green gesture, those in the field know better. NPPD and Public
Power in general has fought against allowing small turbines onto 'their
grid' for many years and forced small green energy producers to be
competitive with coal plants. While citizen pressure finally forced public
power to allow state wide net metering (LB 436), public power lobbyists
worked diligently to ensure it had very low limits so no real development
would occur. After all their fighting against small wind, they erected these
as an obvious showpiece and they were supplied to the facility by out of
state contractors!

Your senator is visited by lobbyists every day. When was the last time you gave them your view? Whether it is RE (renewable energy) related or not, Nebraskans need to get involved in sharing their views with senators, testifying where they have a strong opinion and be informed. Our DUTIES as citizens is not limited to election day. Get involved in your future by getting to know the issues and sharing your views with your elected representatives. Although survey after survey clearly shows Nebraskans want more RE in the mix, the lack of involvement of the citizenry has resulted in the status quo lobbyists prevailing year after year. As a result, Nebraska is lagging in all areas of RE development outside of large, commercial ethanol production. Get in there and make a difference this legislative session, you'll feel good about it, I promise.
