"In wildness is the preservation of the world"

--Henry David Thoreau



The Kansas Flint Hills, the last expanse of Tallgrass Prairie on the continent, is being threatened by industrial wind energy development.

• Only 4% of the Tallgrass Prairie in North America remains

• Industrial wind development fragments the fragile ecosystem and disrupts wildlife habitat

• Developers want to construct hundreds of wind turbines taller than the Statue of Liberty on the high ridges of the Flint Hills

• Little power will benefit the citizens of the Flint Hills

• Turbines disrupt the scenic view both day and night

• Economic and environmental consequences are proven

• Proven economic and environmental consequences

Why fragment & compromise this unique & endangered ecosystem with industrial development when Kansas has over 8 million acres of already fragmented land with good wind resources?
