Iowa's Wind Power Surging. By Yuliya Chernova, WSJ, October 19, 2009. "Iowa has become the second-largest producer of wind power in the U.S., and some credit an aggressive and supportive role played by local government... Last year, Iowa added 1,600 megawatts of wind capacity, jumping ahead of California for second place behind Texas. At the end of the second quarter of 2009, Iowa had 3,043 megawatts of total wind capacity, compared with 8,361 megawatts in Texas and 2,787 megawatts in California, according to the wind-energy association. Iowa's wind now powers about 15% of the state's electricity consumption, which represents a lofty goal for many other states."
