Iowa City among six cities mentioned on national renewable energy list
EarthDay.org published “6 Unexpected American Cities Leading the Way in Renewable Energy” in conjunction with Earth Day, which was April 22. Iowa City was included on the list for “exceeding national expectations with its climate action efforts.” The article said the city reached its 2030 goal of 45% emissions reduction a decade early, attributing that success to the use of wind energy. The publication cited Iowa City’s rental electrification initiative and the use of Iowa’s first patrol-rated electric police vehicle. Other cities on the list include Denton, Texas; Salt Lake City and Utah renewable communities; Nashville; Mesquite, Texas, and Boise, Idaho.
