How do we promote wind energy applications more in Iowa? What are the basic pros and cons of wind

power technology?
What are the incentives used to encourage development of wind power? Briefly describe them.
How would you describe United States’ wind power resources as a major future energy use? Can we fully

depend on wind power?
Are the wind turbines helping Iowa (or Midwest in general) farmers for their economic development?

How?
Would you be willing to allow your farm land to install large wind turbines if the area is windy enough?

What are the approximate numbers on profit that our farmers make on land leasing for the wind turbines

in windy locations compared with only corn production at the same field if there would be no wind

resources? (A 2.5 MW wind turbine may need a foot-print of approximately ¼ acre of the farm land).
What are the environmental savings in wind power production as compared with the coal-fired power

generation?
What are the impacts of new wind farms to local jobs? How does the wind power help to establish our

energy independence?
Do you think US citizens can move from the idea of NIMBY to PIMBY as the need to cleaner energy grows

steadily? Briefly explain and support your ideas with examples.
