Establish Iowa Small Wind Incentive Program
I support small businesses in Iowa that install small wind turbines. Iowa has great wind resources and there are many Iowans who would like to install a small wind system to reduce their electric bills and lower their operating costs. I urge you to support the establishment of a small scale wind assistance program just like the one created for solar energy. This would increase competition in the renewable energy marketplace and let everyone choose the best renewable energy technology for their situation.
Why is this important?
The Distributed Wind Energy Association (DWEA) is pursuing legislation in the current Iowa legislative session to provide an incentive program for small wind that mirrors the tax incentives provided for solar.
Senators Rob Hogg and Joe Bolkcom continue to construct the Senate's omnibus renewable energy bill. With a finite amount of money to utilize, it is shaping up to be a fight to the finish to see who can make it into and stay in the bill.
In addition to signing onto the petition, please directly email each of the Senate Ways and Means Committee members listed below (firstname.lastname @legis.iowa.gov) and ask them to please support the establishment of an Iowa small scale wind assistance program similar to the one currently in place for solar energy.
