Wind power is a clean and efficient way of producing energy that with one megawatt can produce enough power for 250 homes. With today's technology and the ability to mass produce, this is making wind power cheaper and easier for Iowans to use.
As one of Mother Nature's gifts, the wind is available and plentiful and won't deplete our world's natural resources.
Homeowners who have wind power have the ability to sell excess power to the power company, giving them an option to making money.
Combining wind power with the use of solar panels and geothermal energy these alternatives to natural resources will provide a steady and reliable source of energy for future generations to come.
After looking at the pros and cons, people in Iowa should look to the future with wind power.
