Our Vision

To create a booming renewable energy industry in Indiana, that will revitalize rural communities, create thousands of jobs, improve our environmental quality and diversify our energy supply.

Realizing the Vision

We need to persuade our legislators to pass a ‘renewable electricity standard’ (RES).
An RES calls for utilities to purchase an increasing percentage of their generation from renewable resources each year. This concept has already been implemented in 22 other states! Furthermore, 15 additional states are considering this legislation.
An RES has been so well received as the policy strategy to generate a renewable energy boom that Senator Richard Lugar, one of the nation’s leaders in promoting for renewable energy, has written a letter of public support.

The Potential

Indiana is blessed with vast wind and biomass resources. According to a January 2006 study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, wind alone could generate as much as 40,000 Megawatts of energy in Indiana, more than twice the total energy production capacity of our state today.

About Our Coalition

We are Indiana farmers, elected officials, construction firms, developers, energy advocates, concerned citizens, and construction workers.

Our founding members include the White Construction (one of the nation’s largest erectors of wind turbine towers), Orion Energy LLC, Environmental Law & Policy Center, enXco Inc, Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana, Hoosier Environmental Council, and Invenergy.
