Could This Mean Lower Electricity Bills for Davenport?

Iowa has just been ranked number one in the nation for this.

I get really jazzed when I hear about alternative energy sources. I am a big fan of utilizing what nature gives us and really get nerdy when we can figure out a way to harness it for everyone's use.

Wind energy, for example, is a pretty cool discovery. It's been around for thousands and thousands of years, dating back to 5000 B.C. and the idea of a simple windmill to pump water, back to 200 B.C.  Here we are, in 2016 and the state of Iowa has something pretty brag-worthy in the world of energy.

Iowa was ranked number one by the U.S. Department of Energy, showing it's the first state to go over 30% mark for all electricity generated in wind power, according to IowaPublicRadio.org.

Since wind puts energy back on to the grid, could this help lower the rate and cost of electricity for Iowa residents? I sure hope so. It would be very neat to see costs go down for families, instead of up, for a change.
