A Bright Energy Future for Iowa
Iowans support an All-of-the-Above approach to meeting our energy needs.
SHARE ON:
We lead the nation in wind power.
We lead in the production of biofuels.
We are growing in solar and storage.
And we hold the potential for adding nuclear power as a baseload generation.
Here’s What an All-of-the-Above Energy Approach Does for Iowans:
Keeps Energy Costs Low for Iowa Families
A strong, reliable energy mix keeps electricity prices stable and affordable for Iowa families and businesses. Iowa maintains some of the lowest prices for electricity in the nation.
Strengthens Iowa Farmers
Wind and solar leases add new opportunities for our farmers and landowners to support their income, helping keep farms economically secure. Iowa farmers have earned more than $70 million in land lease payments since 2022, money that helps keep farms in the family and navigate through troubled times.
Creates Good-Paying Jobs in Rural Iowa
Iowa’s leadership in energy has already created thousands of jobs in construction, manufacturing and energy production. By continuing to invest in homegrown power, we keep jobs right here in Iowa, instead of sending opportunities to other states or overseas.
Investing in Our Local Communities
The reliability and affordability of Iowa’s robust electric grid has attracted new business and investments for Iowa communities. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds noted this in a recent address, calling Iowa’s all-of-the-above approach a “big recruitment tool for economic development.”
Energy Independence Secures America’s Energy Dominance
By investing in a broad energy portfolio, the U.S. reduces reliance on foreign energy, creates jobs here in Iowa and keeps our energy prices low.
All-of-the-Above Energy Investment Tax Credits
Congress is reviewing the energy tax credits in place today. As they consider potential reforms, they should remember an all-of-the-above energy tax code supports a strong energy grid that powers our needs at home, promotes reliability, keeps prices low for our families all while growing America’s energy dominance.
