OF

GOVERNOR LT.
GOVERNOR

Dear
Wallace,
Thank
you
for
contacting
the
Office
of
Governor
Terry
E.
Branstad
regarding
your
concerns
about
carbon
pollution
and
the
environment.
Governor
Branstad
has
long
been
a
champion
of
alternative
energy,
such
as
wind
and
biofuels.
In
fact,
he
was
the
first
governor
in
the
country
to
sign
a
Renewable
Energy
Standard
in
1983.
Many
states
soon
followed
and
signed
their
own
version
of
the
RES.
As
Governor
Branstad
requires
of
each
of
his
agencies,
he
believes
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(EPA)
should
convene
stakeholders
and
receive
their
input
before
adopting
any
significant
long
term
regulations.
He
is
encouraging
EPA
Administrator
Gina
McCarthy
to
work
with
each
state
individually,
giving
Iowa
proper
time
to
adjust
and
implement
any
new
rules
that
would
affect
its
citizens.
Again,
thank
you
for
contacting
our
office
and
sharing
your
concerns
with
Governor
Branstad.
If
you
have
any
questions
or
concerns
please
feel
free
to
call
our
office
at
515-281-5211.
Sincerely,
Office
of
the
Governor
Adam
Gregg,
Legislative
Liaison
