In an article warning against Iowa legislation to gut energy efficiency, Williams cites E2 data:
“The legislation would “stifle a growing, prosperous industry” in Iowa, the sustainability-focused business group Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2) has warned. In 2016, more than 20,000 Iowans worked in energy efficiency jobs such as retrofitting homes and businesses to make them more energy efficient. Clean energy jobs grew almost 12 times faster than overall jobs in Iowa, a trend that Gov. Reynolds celebrated last year.”
