Controversial solar farm approved near Lawrence, Kansas

Farmers and other landowners opposed the Kansas Sky Energy Center, a project financed by Evergy. Environmentalists and others supported the project that, according to Solar Energy Industries Association data, will generate more solar energy than currently generated in the entire state.
