Can We Solve It? Yes We Can!

There is a group called the We Campaign which is focused on sustainable energy policies such as geothermal, wind, and solar energy.

The We Campaign is a project of The Alliance for Climate Protection -- a nonprofit, nonpartisan effort founded by Nobel laureate and former Vice President Al Gore. Our ultimate aim is to halt global warming. Specifically we are educating people in the US and around the world that the climate crisis is both urgent and solvable.

Of importance to Iowans is that renewables do not include ethanol, but a report released by the United Steelworkers and the Sierra Club found that thanks to the growth of wind energy, approximately 5,200 manufacturing jobs could be created in Iowa alone over the next decade. Additional studies have found that thousands more jobs could be created in other states that have suffered industry job losses and that welcome the opportunity to train workers for the new energy economy.
