Personally, I do NOT want our summers any hotter!!!
DesertRat
(27,995 posts)Actually I spend the summer in the White Mtns at 7,300 ft. It's 30+ degrees cooler here than in the desert.
But climate change is affecting us here with a higher wildfire danger.

It felt like a punch to the gut listening to that Goon giving his "reasons" for pulling out of the Paris Accord. Just sickening! The Repugs are complicit in giving our country and status away, sad...

(16,107 posts)that purport to represent Iowa are not in that list.
They are usually right there on anything awful...though, I have zero doubt that they are cheering about it.

(53,061 posts)Iowa could sustain almost all of its energy from wind.
The day after Romney got the nomination he declared, to the disbelief of the Republican Party in Iowa, that he was going to eliminate the wind subsidy. The wind subsidy has allowed about 50,000 farmers to have a couple of windmills which gives them a small but steady income so that they can pay most of their household bills every month without borrowing more for their crops. It is very popular. About 100,000 Iowan voters live in families that get a monthly wind check. Romney lost Iowa by 100,000 votes. Romney could not win the electoral election without Iowa. The 2012 election was basically over the day after Romney got the nomination.
Republicans are going to be very timid when it comes to sustainable energy issues in Iowa.
Bettie
(16,107 posts)I had forgotten that they actually do have industries in state that want them to keep wind energy, becasue actual people would never sway them.
