A growing demand for climate-friendly sources of energy - from the sun, from the wind - translates into jobs. Consider:
Clean energy jobs in Iowa have doubled since 2015.
Iowa’s 5,000+ wind turbines generate 40% of the state’s electricity – the highest share of any state - and produce more than 9,000 jobs.
Demand for renewable energy continues to grow.
There aren’t enough skilled workers to fill available jobs.
- Average starting salary in renewable energy: $46,000.
