Nebraska
The Cornhusker State has a long history of using clean energy, embodied in its robust nuclear power program. Nebraska is also making strides in the introduction of renewable energy sources. For example, work is underway on the construction of the 60-megawatt Ainsworth Wind Energy Facility, which will be the state’s largest wind facility when it begins operation. |

A portion of the funds from the State Energy Program are allocated by formula among the states. To apply for a grant from the remaining funds, each Governor is required to write a letter to the Secretary of Energy explaining that the state will pursue policies to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy as outlined in Section 410 page 32 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
