Study indicates Iowa as world leader in renewable energy » Columns » The Clinton Herald, Clinton, Iowa: "CLINTON — A new study out this week proves that Iowa is indeed a world leader in renewable energy. The new research says that 20 percent of all the electricity generated in Iowa comes from wind power. Iowa now generates about 3,670 megawatts from wind, which is enough to power 75 percent of all homes in Iowa, and is second in the country in wind capacity behind Texas.
The study proves our focus on renewable energy and green jobs over the last four years is having a positive impact on our economy and environment. There are more than 8,100 “green” jobs in Iowa and the number continues to grow."
