Quinter citizens are working on several key programs to take charge of their energy future:
1. How$mart efficiency improvements - with Midwest Energy Cooperative's How$mart program 2. "Light up Quinter" - a CFL challenge 3. "Energy-Efficient Bulldogs" - a phantom load awareness program with Quinter schools 4. Weatherization projects - partnerships with USDA and state Weatherization Assistance Program
“Iraq and a lot of the skirmishes we are in are about energy. And I think, to put it in a nutshell, we feel it makes more sense to put wind turbines on our prairie instead of our fine young men and women under the prairie."
