Chan Keith, an AMC resource efficiency manager, said, so far, “the most promising probable outcome” appears to be the wind turbines at McConnell. AMC officials said pursuing renewable energy helps in making the Air Force more energy independent and installations more secure by having power generation on base as opposed to off base.
