GRAPHIC: Nearly 60% of energy production in Iowa comes from Wind turbines

Skeptics renewables don't work.
In fact, they are going Gang Busters throughout the Midwest and heading to be a huge new Cash Crop at 5k-15K per Turbine cite.
Oklahoma in 4th place at 45%.

In the course of 15 years, the state of Iowa has managed to increase Wind energy production by a Whopping 15 times what it was in 2006.

In that year, Iowa produced 2,317 megawatts-hour of wind energy, while other sources produced 44,039 megawatts-hour of energy, according to the Iowa Utility Board. At that time, wind energy only represented 5% of the state’s electric generation.

By 2020, the state had increased its alternative energy production to 57% of its total energy output, according to information published by the Iowa Utility Board, based on data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.".."

What else would you expect? Not that much coal, oil or gas is found in Iowa. But it is sort of windy.

 

[Oddball]

Not surprising....Iowa has been turned into a federally subsidized vassal state.

 

[ReinyDays]

Iowa has surpasses Oklahoma for second place by state ... good news ... still a long ways to go to overtake Texas ... charging EVs for free ...

Iowa was never known for oil and natural gas profuction

I wonder what they rely on when the wind don't blow.

And so is the Whole sparse Midwest/Plains states/Farm and Ranch States.. and some Coastal States too.
Even OIL Texas is going Wind Big.
The RW Governor Abbott is getting Nervous.

And few states have much oil and gas. It travels by PIPELINE... but the point is Wind is Now cheaper and cleaner.

You COULD google it and find out.
But you are a MAGAt, and actually looking for info is not in your repertoire.

Neither are MOST states.
Nice to know we can get up to a Majority of power for renewables in states that don't.
And the balance in states that have only a little.
IOW, MOST states.

Should every state produce everything it needs?

Or in this case is it only you subscribing to the global warming doomsday hoax?

No, but every state should do what is most advantageous for them economically.
Farm/Ranch states not only love wind because it's cheap but farmers can get 3K-15k per turbine.
Could become the country's Biggest Cash Crop.

Even Oil-Texas is exploding in renewables (by far the biggest adder last year) because they are cheaper in many situations. The SW has a big advantage in Solar and is good for wind too.

Anthropogenic Global Warming is of course true, as Every National and International Scientific Org relevant to the topic agrees.
Exxon agrees.

Leaving just the RW MAGAt cult/sukkers like you and their controllers.

[Mac-7]

Anthropogenic Global Warming is of course true

I wish you wouldnt use those big words instead of plain old English

That global warming is leading us to disaster, and that humans are the primary cause is just an assumption

The greenies lack of appreciation for oil is causing them to cut off their nose to spite their face

I used the full words only because you did.
I call it AGW (or GW) as most of us literate on the topic do. (not you)

This thread is not about a 'disaster,' but economic advantage (Unrefuted). The fact that it is better for the planet is a bonus, and eventually a (yes) necessity too, is also true.

You're just the usual 2-bit non-conversant RW hack vomiting up your politics (not science) here. (like 70% of this place.)

Don't you remember dipshlt!
I said we let the states do what's best for them
An increasingly they (INCL TEXAS) choosing more Renewables for economic reasons.
YOU LOST.

Oooh brilliant take down for a 60 IQer!
But better you could Google:

iowa renewable percent - Google Search

www.google.com

and see first up::

It was Iowa, with 63.2 percent. Next was South Dakota, the only other state to get half of its electricity from wind and solar, with 54.9 percent, with essentially all of it coming from wind. Mar 16, 2023 https://insideclimatenews.org/news/16032023/inside-clean-energy-renewable-wind-iowa/#:~:text=It was Iowa, with 63.2,of it coming from wind.​

These Small- and Medium-Sized States Punch Above Their ...​

and lots more you DOPESHlT.
you can't debate me, you're a 70 IQ MAGAt who doesn't even know how to find info
It's so easy these days!
