Issue Position: Building Iowa's Leadership in Renewable Energy & Tackling Climate Change

Issue Position

Climate change is real, and we are feeling the devastating effects. It's already affecting America's economy and it will only get worse if we don't act. We have seen it first hand here in Iowa, with crippling droughts and floods putting our food supply and farmers' livelihoods at stake. In Washington, Cindy will fight to protect our environment and invest in renewable energy.

Cindy is proud of her work on the Governor's Agenda for Energy Efficiency and Clean Environment, which helped bring the wind industry to scale and made Iowa the number two state in the nation in wind energy production. She'll work to bring clean energy jobs to Iowa including solar, wind, smart grid technology and battery storage. She'll also promote investment in more efficient cars, appliances, buildings and industrial plants to cut energy use in half.
