I mean who doesn’t want to hear about James Madison, Federalist Paper No. 10 and their relevance to permitting energy projects? I expect a James Madison Broadway show to come out of it. If you’re going to be in Phoenix next week for @USCleanPower, now is your chance.

Delve into how #propertyrights intersect with the free market, the Constitution &James Madison’s Federalist Paper No. 10 &positioning property rights as a triumphant force for #renewableenergy with Alan Claus Anderson at @USCleanPower's @Cleanpower 2025: https://t.co/46d4IECCgX.

Trying to figure out what President Trump's Executive Orders mean for the energy industry, including a look back at the previous Trump Administration’s energy policy attempts to add color, then here you are. @Polsinelli @kulawschool @EnergyLaw360 https://t.co/FsqOdIePkJ

Local engagement is paramount in driving #renewableenergy development forward, as Alan Claus Anderson discussed with panelists at @USCleanPower's Siting & #Permitting conference. They addressed the rapid shifts in permitting battles &federal funding expectations. @kulawschool

[Alan Claus Anderson @AlanCAnderson]

I am proud to have been part of a panel of experts for this important 5 part series by @USATODAY on the consequences of extreme renewable energy restrictions. This is an excellent resource showing the impact on energy deployment. https://t.co/70ol8xeQ5A. @Polsinelli @kulawschool

In addition to the courses taught at the @kulawschool by our attorneys through the Polsinelli #Transactional Law Center, we also sponsor teams of law schools in national transactional law meets. Last weekend, 2 teams competed, one coached by Bill Quick, & came back with success.

The opportunity for cleaner and cheaper energy, with a more reliable grid, is threatened by a continued torrent of misinformation. When decision makers then make a compromise between science and misinformation, we all lose.

An NPR and @FloodlightNews investigation found a GOP insider is spreading misinformation about solar's health and environmental risks, and her influence is continuing to grow. https://t.co/abZRn3Kchd

@michaelgruber Thanks to Ingrid for speaking on this in such an articulate and clear way. Hopefully, those that can take action will listen.

And just wait until we add utility scale solar and battery storage to the energy portfolio. It’s good to be natural resource rich Kansas. @KSPowerAlliance @kulawschool

[Kansas Power Alliance @KSPowerAlliance]

Wind energy accounted for an impressive 45.1% of electricity generated in #Kansas in 2021. As part of a "all-of-the-above" energy mix, wind energy is providing Kansas with affordable, reliable power. #CleanEnergy #WindEnergy

[Alan Claus Anderson @AlanCAnderson]

These bills were anti-free market capitalist, anti-property rights with a heavy dose of unfunded mandates and bureaucratic quagmire all mixed with incompetent structure. You can’t just say you are for “freedom” and capitalism and against mandates - actions speak louder. #ksleg

Legislators in Kansas know that the renewable energy industry has been a great asset for rural communities and the state. They also know that the 8 bills filed to end renewable energy, take away local control of land use, and take away property rights are not good policy #ksleg

A series of bills professing to protect rural residents from industrial wind claim to bring transparency, limit abuse and enact safety measures to protect against the supposed health hazards of turbines.

[Alan Claus Anderson @AlanCAnderson]

Fortunately, I believe the vast majority in the legislature understand that these bills, and the one-sided hearings, are a farce. Kansans deserve better.
