Iowa is a leader in clean energy generation, but our electric utilities continue to run coal plants that pollute our air and water, risk our health, and increase our utility bills.

Join us Wednesday, 9/20 for a free webinar where we'll share what progress Iowa has made in reducing harmful emissions in our electricity generation and how far we have to go. Register at the link in our bio to attend and you'll also receive a link to the event recording after!

Congratulations, #WindsorHeights! 🎉 Last night,

Congratulations, #WindsorHeights! 🎉 Last night, the city council adopted a community-wide 24/7 carbon-free electricity goal! This makes Windsor Heights the third city in #Iowa and the fifth nationwide to take up this ambitious decarbonization commitment.

This goal sets the @city_of_windsor_heights apart from other Iowa cities as it is the first city aiming to meet this target by the year 2030! The city will seek electricity that is carbon-free, around-the-clock, instead of using less aggressive approaches that utilize carbon offsets seen with some other 100% #RenewableEnergy pledges.

Windsor Heights is demonstrating the important role cities play in #ClimateLeadership, joining Waterloo and Des Moines as cities with a 24/7 CFE goal. Let's celebrate this major step forward toward a #CarbonFreeFuture for Iowa. 👏

You did it, #Waterloo! 🎉 Tonight, the city council adopted a community-wide 24/7 carbon-free electricity goal by the year 2035! This makes Waterloo the second city in #Iowa and the fourth nationwide to take up this ambitious decarbonization commitment.

The goal sets Waterloo apart from other types of #CleanEnergy goals typically seen at the local level. The city will seek electricity that is carbon-free, around-the-clock, instead of using less aggressive approaches that utilize carbon offsets seen with some other 100% #RenewableEnergy pledges.

Waterloo has demonstrated its #climate leadership, and now the work begins to ensure the city meets this target swiftly, affordably, and equitably. But for now, let's pause to celebrate this momentous victory in the fight for a #CarbonFreeFuture.

We can't wait to see which city in #Iowa is next! 💯
