Iowa Reaches Milestone on Wind-Energy Production - 64%

[abu afak]

AI Overview

In 2023, Oklahoma had an average retail electricity price of 9.30 cents per kWh. This is the lowest among the listed states. Oklahoma generated 45% of its total in-state electricity from renewable resources in 2023.

Elaboration:

• Electricity Costs:
  The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that Oklahoma's average retail price for electricity in 2023 was 9.30 cents per kWh. This is significantly lower than the national average of 15.95 cents per kWh.
• 
  
• Renewable Energy Generation:
  U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data indicates that renewable sources accounted for 45% of Oklahoma's total in-state electricity generation in 2023. This was a notable increase from about 19% in 2013.
• 
  
• Wind Power Dominance:
  Wind energy is the primary renewable energy source in Oklahoma, with wind capacity accounting for 92% of the state's total renewable generating capacity at the end of April 2024.

Wind Turbines are the newest and best Cash Crop for Midwest/Plains states farmers and ranchers. It doesn't just lower the cost of power per KWH, but generates income for those farmers, counties, states, and Federal income taxes.

An Iowa farmer had $350,000 in debt. Wind turbines are helping her get out.​

2024 is not expected to be a good year for farms, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasting a 25% downturn in profits.

But some farmers in Iowa have planted something new in the ground to offset their losses: wind turbines.

Evie Haupt, 75, has Three of them working the land year-round on her 160-acre farm in Central Iowa. She says the turbines bring in about $35,000 per year, which increases each year with inflation.

For struggling farmers, that's made the difference between keeping the family farm and losing it as agriculture becomes more unstable due to climate change. Each turbine takes up less than an acre, leaving plenty of farmable land left.

Haupt says the money generated by the wind turbines has helped her chip away at $350,000 in farm debts left over after the death of her husband a decade ago, bringing down the total debt to $67,000.

Two decades ago, there were just a few hundred wind turbines in Iowa. Now there are more than 6,000 that produce about 60% of the state's energy, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

LOL You Dishonest False challenge/Strawman Clown.
Having LOST all other real points (ie 17%, LCOE, etc) it's back to another goofy ridicKulous try.
IAC and again, Red states IOWA, SD, even Texas, et al, keep spending more Because it's SAVING Money.
You're a factless/Link-less POS.

show us where prices dropped.

Going up by about 2% a year.
Granted IOWA is more conducive due to it's rural population, but it gives one an idea.
The Southwest could easily get near or above this with wind and solar.

Sixty-four percent of Iowa's energy production now comes from wind - a new record for the state, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Green-energy advocates call it a big step along the road to fossil-fuel independence.​

​

Iowa has been a wind-energy leader for decades, but the Iowa Environmental Council Staff Attorney Michael Schmidt said the IEC has a goal of becoming fossil-fuel independent by 2035.​

​

"The energy mix in Iowa has shifted from being dominated more by coal with some natural gas," said Schmidt, "to being dominated by wind with a much smaller fraction of coal and natural gas."​

​

The IEC contends that wind is the Least Expensive source of energy generation, even without considering tax credits or subsidies, and says it is dramatically lower than the costs of coal - especially when accounting for factors such as human health and crop damage from fossil fuel-based energy production.​

You're missing something what is the average electric bill for a rural Iowan? Not just the price per kilowatt hour but the total bill... The cost of both the energy and the delivery?

I'm not missing anything.
We are talking about the cost viability of renewables IN A RURAL STATE .. and where the Turbines ARE in RURAL settings... and also where the RURAL farmers are being paid app 10K+ Each per Turbine per year. Doh! And where the rural counties towns and schools benefit.

If you want to punch holes in what I said, go and find such micro-info yourself.

How much did iowa spend on wind turbined abu

In iowa, why do the composite blades need constant repairs

Abu, why is the leading edge erosion problem contaminating the farmland with micro-plastics

Iowa has to import electricity, why? If wind works?

Iowa is looking at adding a nuclear reactor? Why if wind is efficient?

OK Fallacious Burden shifting Clown/Liar.
It's IDIOTIC to ask me what Iowa Has paid for Turbines! (over how many years? For how many KWHs? LOFL)
when ie, in fact they May pay NOTHING For Turbines!!!
You FUKKKING Idiot!

In fact, Iowa farmers are paid to put Turbines on their land. (like O&G wells in Ohio)
So Iowa is probably buying KWHs from plant operators at advantageous rates to Both parties a well as well as paying the farmers!
Seeing as their use has risen every year, they seem mighty happy, and Not because they're a bunch of Leftist Greenies. It's a very conservative state.

So I think it's fair to say at this point/10 years+ they've come up against all the problems you can Fabricate but still love the results/Balance sheet.

You must have a LOW IQ to think you can try the "demanding endless detail FALLACY" as tactic. It's especially funny from you, You Hypocritical asshole, as unlike me, You post No Verifiable facts/NO LINKS.
Zero.
You just try and BS your way through with Contrary claims and endless BS questions.
You're Outed/LOST again Goofy.

I also posted Oklahoma's rising numbers (45%) and they have lots of their own O&G.
King Oil Texas also Loves Wind.. BECAUSE it's cheaper.

I asked how much Iowa paid for wind turbines

I asked why Iowa's wind turbines are on need of constant repair.

Iowa imports more power than the wind turbines produce.

Abu refuses to answer sticking to one debunked democrat talking point.

Not one answer, just the made up lie that iowa loves expensive ugly wind turbines destroying the farmland

 

[elektra]

Abu, iowa oklahoma texas and warren buffet. Warren buffet owed billions in taxes. Warren Buffet paid his back taxes with the subsidies from wind turbines in iowa oklahoma and texas

Now the berkshire hathaway has profited from wind subsidies, buffet is divesting, selling off all the wind turbines

In fact Wind and Solar were killing Texas' NG&Oil so Texas just passed Bill #819 to PROTECT their gas against the Cheaper renewables.
Google it.

How much did it all cost!

Abu makes a claim green energy is cheaper but can not tell us the cost

How much has been spent on wind energy in Texas? How much more does Texas have to spend? Why is Texas looking for an alternative to wind turbines and solar panels.

Cheaper? How much was spent and why is that just a down payment on the total cost

How much has been spent on oil and gas in Texas you 12 IQ Moron?
What an Idiot you are.
Again TX just made a law (#819) to protect O&G from cheaper renewables

See folks, abu makes the claim wind turbines are cheap but abu wont tell us what they have cost. Instead he wants us to only focus on one law abu aint read

Lying AGAIN moron.
I did not say Turbines were cheap, I said they and the power they produced was cheaper than Fossil Fuels. and ergo the Boom. (IA 64%, SD, 56%, OK 45%, TX 31%, etc.)
And I have two thread starts Documenting that fact still near the top of the section. (i one citing thee IEA).
And there is the FACT of the BOOM and mainly in Red States in Wind.

You lose again!!

Abu is dumb. One complaint abu has is solar and wind will have regulations that dont apply to oil and gas!

Abu, oil and gas is different than solar and wind so the regulations are different.

I guess the point Abu has made is that there is no profit to made with wind and solar, one regulation to protect people from being killed is one regulation too much for the wind industry

the wind and solar industry has permits to kill endangered eagles, now the wind and solar industry wants a permit to kill humans

SB 819 targets renewables by imposing onerous requirements that do not apply to fossil fuels, including requiring solar and energy installations to obtain a permit from the Public Utility Commission of Texas, installations to be built at a distance from a property line that is approximately five times the distance required for fossil fuel installations, and more.
