In another sign of the growing importance of renewable energy, MidAmerican is proposing to construct a wind farm in Iowa that could provide more than HALF of the total energy it delivers.

Certainly more will be heard once the federal government releases more details about the Clean Power Rules. However, this is another example of how renewable energy (solar, wind and hydro) is becoming more common and reliable.

Consider that a utility like MidAmerican, that has tremendous coal resources, is willing to commit more than half of its expected need to renewable energy is a testament to the reality of climate change and that renewable energy is economically competitive.

May the times, continue to change.
