2025 Community Sustaining Sponsor

Join Conservation Nebraska and our partners for a free event aimed to bring people together to discuss the opportunities created by renewable energy. When we work together to address challenges we can become more resilient, efficient, and create solutions to the issues our communities face.

Space is limited and registration is required. Please visit https://secure.everyaction.com/olPtC1l2gU2soQ_YWMZ29g2 to reserve your spot today. 

9:30 AM - Check-in - coffee and snacks provided  

10 AM - Session 1 - featuring Josh Moenning, John Hansen and Kevin Connot. These experts will focus on how economic growth with renewable energy can benefit rural communities. They will focus on how energy development is economic development.

Josh is director of New Power Nebraska and runs a small business focused on renewable energy development. He served as Mayor of Norfolk and as a Norfolk City Councilman. He also assists his family's beef business and has two children. He's worked in the Nebraska Legislature, for the U.S. House of Representatives, and as executive director of the infrastructure development group 4 Lanes 4 Nebraska. 

John has served as the President of the Nebraska Farmers Union since 1990, currently the longest serving president. He also serves the National Farmers Union in a variety of roles; USDA's Nebraska State Technical Committee; Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Nebraska Farm Crisis Council; and on the Board of Directors for the Coalition for a Prosperous America. He has served as Chair or Co-Chair of the Wind and Solar Conference since 2007. John has received awards from groups such as the Center for Rural Affairs, Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society, U.S. Department Of Energy, American Corn Growers Association, the Nebraska Rural Radio Association.

Kevin has a Bachelor's degree in Agriculture from the University of Nebraska Lincoln and an MBA from Wayne State College. He has served on his local school board, owns a business near a utility scale wind project, and has experience as a renewable energy developer. He lives in the Allen, Nebraska area which is home to the Rattlesnake Creek Wind project built in 2018. He has seen the property tax relief for all area residents and businesses from this project. 

11 AM - Session 2 featuring Nancy and Alan Meyer who will discuss their solar powered regenerative farm.

Alan and Nancy moved to their 1904 farmhouse on five acres in summer 2000. Over the years they have restored the home in an environmentally conscious way, while also maintaining and developing the grounds to provide as much of their food as possible. Today they have two solar arrays, passive solar, solar hot water, geothermal heating and cooling, and other alternative energy installations. Their 3200 sq ft all-electric home requires only $600 in annual electricity bills, including the cost of charging two electric cars and battery-powered yard equipment. They were able to remove their propane tank in January 2024, completing their transition from fossil fuel usage. The installation of a battery bank early this summer may also allow the property to be disconnected from the grid in 2026.
