The evidence is in – Iowa counties with wind energy projects are stronger economically than counties without. Iowa began wind and solar development in the early 1990s, and today 62% of our electricity is generated from wind, solar and energy storage. That puts Iowa as the number one U.S. state in renewable energy electricity generation.
