Wind Energy interests discuss crucial issues to continued development

Two wind energy conferences in Iowa this week will focus on issues crucial to the continued development of the industry.

We'll talk about research and development, workforce issues and transmission of Iowa-generated wind energy to areas of the country with the highest demand.
