An overwhelming majority of Iowa voters would be less likely to support an anti-wind candidate for office…

    “…More than half of voters (57%), including 41% of Republicans and 59% of Independents, would be less likely to vote for a candidate for President if that candidate did not support expanding American wind power generation…Sixty three percent (63%) of Iowa voters, including over 51% of Republicans, and 68% percent of Independents, would be less likely to vote for a Congressional candidate who did not support expanding wind power…”
