Sierra Club Iowa Chapter is proud to host informational meetings about the role of local energy cooperatives in creating economic opportunities in rural communities. Two German coop officials, Dr. Andreas Wieg from the German Cooperative and Raiffeisen Federation in Berlin and Michael Diestel from Agrokraft, a rural electric cooperative in Bavaria, will be in Iowa June 13-14 to discuss how renewable energy can revitalize entire communities. Wieg and Diestel will be available the afternoon of June 13 to meet with decision makers and policy advocates in Urbandale. They will also meet with the general public in Johnston the evening of June 13 and in Cedar Rapids the afternoon of June 14. Sierra Club members interested in renewable energy for the 21st Century are encouraged to attend one of three meetings.
