The Devil is in the Details Lecture Series presents:
Community-Based Energy Development, It’s How Nebraska Builds Wind

In February of this year, President Obama signed the world’s single largest investment in clean energy.  The new clean energy economy is on the horizon and it is crucial to start asking the question, “How it will benefit Nebraskans across the state?” 

Who:   Dan Juhl, Chairman and CEO of Juhl Wind Inc. 

For over 30 years Mr. Juhl has pioneered conservation and renewable energy technologies, particularly wind power, in the Midwest.  During his tenure in the wind industry, Dan’s activities have covered every aspect of the technology including design, manufacturing, development, and installation. 

Mr. Juhl is considered to be one of the nation’s leading experts on wind technology and community owned renewable distributive generation.  He has been instrumental in helping to form public policy by working with legislators and regulators on the workings and benefits of utilizing renewables in the energy mix. 

What: The Devil is in the Details Lecture Series:
Community-Based Energy Development, It’s How Nebraska Builds Wind

Where: University of Nebraska-Lincoln East Campus, Hardin Hall, Auditorium 107

When: March 24 – 7:00 p.m.

Why:   Nebraska is unique; our public power system means that the wind energy development models that work in other states don’t apply as well to Nebraska.  In 2007 the Nebraska Legislature passed the Rural Community-Based Energy Development (C-BED) Act to ensure that Nebraska can build wind and that Nebraskans are the ones who benefit.  At this crucial time for energy, the public and policymakers are invited to learn more about Community-Based Energy Development because it’s how Nebraska builds wind.

“The Devil is in the Details” lecture series will examine energy topics in depth to provide citizens and lawmakers with accurate, timely information from experts in the energy industry.  Later topics will include statewide energy policy, and wind integration.

The lecture series is a program sponsored by the Nebraska League of Conservation Voters, State Senator Annette Dubas, the University of Nebraska Rural Initiative, UNL School of Natural Resources, & Nebraska Public Power District.
