More links today. While Iowa is on track to do nothing for distributed
renewables this year, Colorado legislators bucked heavy utility opposition and strengthened
their state clean energy standard. It looks like Minnesota
will do the same. Hey Iowa senators, just because there is a lot of installed
wind in Iowa (quite a bit of it serving
renewable mandates in other states), doesn’t mean you’re leading in in
renewable policy.
Reader question- Can anyone supply me with figures showing
how much of Iowa’s wind energy is exported and how much serves in state
electrical load?
Cool tech link – new
solar design ups PV output by capturing waste heat for water.
Cool policy link – Germans
pay about the same per month for electricity as U.S. citizens. Craig Morris has
been writing some excellent articles on renewables.
Germany - 25% renewable energy – U.S. – 4% renewables.
