The Iowa Utilities Board has given MidAmerican Energy the green light for the utility's plans for a $3.6 billion wind energy investment, the largest renewable energy project in the state.
The state board on Friday gave final approval for the utility's Wind XI farm.
The project -- first announced in April -- is part of Des Moines-based MidAmerican's goal to reach 100 percent renewable energy for Iowa customers.
"We are finalizing plans to begin construction of the 1,000 wind turbines, with completion expected by the end of 2019," MidAmerican spokeswoman Ashton Hockman said in an email Monday. "Wind XI will add up to 2,000 megawatts of wind generation in Iowa and is the largest wind project MidAmerican Energy has ever undertaken."
Funny that doesnt begin to cover their energy generationIowa Passes Plan to Convert to 100 Percent Renewable Energy

Wow, what awesome news!
Oregon is headed down same dead endThose poor birds. It's a utopian wet dream, what are they smoking out there?
We'll sell them beans to generate that much-needed sustainable wind for wind turbinesso sad these people arent buying our oil and gas anymore, instead they decide to produce their own electricity, how can we explain its stupid to be selfreliant instead of paying us a lot of money every year ?

You are correct. And Oncor, the biggest utility in Texas estimates that the breakeven point for those batteries is $350 kw/hr. Right now, both Tesla and Eos are selling such batteries. Tesla at $250 kw/hr, Eos at $160 kw/hr. Used at both ends of the grid, generation and use. So we are already at the point where we can back up the renewables with storage, making both wind and solar 24/7.I love renewable energy, but I don't know if it's possible.
They're gonna need a shitload of back-up batteries for foggy days with no sun or wind.
Damn, you are a stupid fuck. Western Washington is on a subduction zone. Worst possible place In the world for a nuke. Not only that, you need to read the history of WHOOPS. LOLWestern WA has at least two innactive nuclear plants, the libtards shut them down near their completion date. I have heard they were rendered useless. Dumb little idiots.
I'm familiar with the lefty spin. But a power plant can designed to shut down for a large earthquake and this isn't the Andreas Fault. The left hates nuclear power because they've been frightened by guys like you.Damn, you are a stupid fuck. Western Washington is on a subduction zone. Worst possible place In the world for a nuke.
