Hoosiers for Renewables is working to build an Indiana where affordable, cleaner, renewable energy benefits all Hoosiers. Our purpose is to inform and serve consumers and businesses about renewable energy for Indiana. Join us! #renewableenergy #Indiana

Rachel Conner, our executive director, writes about what renewables mean to her family in this personal blog post. The positives of renewables span generations. #renewables #hoosierfarms hoosiersforrenewables.com/blog/renewable…

News from Texas - a diverse grid with solar is helping keep the AC on. A diverse grid, using multiple sources of energy, is a more reliable grid. And when there is a greater share of wind and solar, the local economy benefits too. And that's cool! texastribune.org/2023/06/28/tex…

Wind energy = better roads. "Jasper County is anticipating the agreed improvements to the county roads in the wind project area and looking forward to the opportunity to invest the economic development agreement dollars for a variety of projects." ow.ly/y0iF50P0F27

What does it mean to be "energy independence-minded?" "We owe it to the next generation to weigh the benefits and forge ahead responsibly to build a new future less dependent on one or two energy sources. Let us diversify & become energy independent." ow.ly/x8tb50OSo7y

Indiana is doing its part for American energy independence! A new EV plant in Northern Indiana was just announced. These Indiana-made EVs can be powered by Indiana-made electricity from wind and solar. #energyindependence #windpower #solarpower #EV

Construction is underway in St. Joseph County (South Bend) on a new solar farm that will power 27,000 homes. St. Joe is on a roll for clean energy and energy independence with the solar farm and announcement of a new EV plant there. #solarpower #energyindependence #Hoosier

I am excited to share the stage with @MayorJensen and discuss the importance of investing in local communities at the Bringing Benefits to Our Communities panel at @ConsensusDM’s Investing in Indiana event on June 27th. Attend the event to learn more: investinginindiana.com

Indiana manufacturing is strong and growing with clean energy. With news of a new EV plant in St. Joseph County (South Bend area) employing 1,700, clean energy again shows it supports manufacturing jobs in Indiana. The new plant was announced in mid-June. #manufacturing #jobs

Congratulations to Starke County for rejecting a solar moratorium. Commissioners supported property rights and the private sector, which will result in millions of dollars of economic growth for Starke County!

With clean energy, $3 billion in new investment is coming to Indiana. A new EV plant will invest $3 billion in St. Joseph County (South Bend Area) and provide 1,700 new jobs. Wind, solar and storage projects have brought Indiana $9 billion in investment.

1,700 new jobs are coming to Indiana thanks to clean energy. Renewable energy can even provide electricity for the EVs, helping promote America’s energy independence with energy made right here in the Hoosier state. #EV #jobs #renewableenergy #energyindependence

Homegrown, renewable energy is the perfect vehicle for Indiana's energy highways. We make it, use some, sell some, and it all benefits our state, with economic benefits flowing to rural Hoosier communities. ow.ly/lC2s50OwEv2

Hoosier farmers have always been trend-setters: “Indiana and its farmers are taking the lead to decarbonize the energy sector, while also revitalizing the local economy with jobs, vendor contracts, taxes, and lease payments,” said Eric Spigelman, EDF. ow.ly/VeFV50OwEhf

We honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom this Memorial Day. "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them."

In an upbeat and enjoyable radio interview, our executive director Rachel Conner discussed why we need more wind and solar energy in Indiana, and who benefits. We condensed the conversation, which you can read on our blog. hoosiersforrenewables.com/blog/the-appea…

“Solar grazing is adding an exciting new dimension to Indiana’s sheep industry and may provide the potential for new and young producers to break into the sheep production business,” said Indiana Sheep Association President Jane Smith. ow.ly/p9bO50Ow8nR

Hoosiers for Renewables salutes EMS personnel for #NationalEMSWeek! Revenue from renewable energy projects can fund EMS training and equipment. Here's an example from one Hoosier county.

Rachel Conner talks sustainability and the benefits of clean renewable energy at Fort Wayne's Eco Fest. Wind and solar energy are cleaner than traditional sources of energy. And since it's homegrown, it helps contribute to American energy independence. #sustainability

86% of all Hoosier voters believe it is a private property right for farmers to be able to choose renewables, including 82% of Republicans, 87% of Independents, and 90% of Democrats.
