Local Governments Can Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Local governments can become leaders in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by becoming more energy efficient
The Iowa Chapter supports energy policies that:

Reduce the effects of climate change by migrating from coal and other fossil fuels
-
Migrate from nuclear power
-
Transition to clean renewable energy such as solar, wind, geothermal
-
Support distributed generation allowing home owners, schools, churches, farmers and small businesses to own and install wind and solar power generation equipment
-
Update distribution and transmission lines so that all Iowans can use renewable energy and so that excess energy can be sold out of state
-
Enhance energy efficiency and conservation programs
-
Improve transportation efficiency, increasing the use of alternative and public transportation
