Senator Thune was on the campus of South Dakota State University on Wednesday to talk about the farm bill and the use of ethanol as an alternative energy source. The Yankton Press and Dakota gives Thune a "thumbs up" for his work on energy:
THUMBS UP to the continued emphasis on renewable energy. U.S. Sen. John Thune's tour of the state this week focused not only on ethanol (including a tour of the Poet research center in Scotland) but also possibilities for wind energy and other alternative sources of power. This week also included a U.S. Senate field hearing in Brookings, which gave the state more exposure with its great potential as an energy exporter. Thune termed the state, including the southeast region, as the "Saudi Arabia of wind energy." Across the Missouri River, northeast Nebraska has also found success in it work with ethanol. Hopefully, such efforts can continue to thrive and take new directions.
Thune's visit on alternative energy included a stop in my hometown this week, as well.
