Renewables and Improvements to Local Schools
Indiana has 247,000 rural students, making it 9th in the nation in rural student population, according to a report by the Rural School and Community Trust.
Local wind and solar projects pay millions of dollars in property tax revenue to the counties where they are located. That's extra revenue that can be used to help fund local schools.
Renewables are Transforming the Hoosier Economy
The plummeting cost of renewable energy is driving demand for wind and solar energy. Indiana’s economy benefits from the transition to low-cost renewable energy. Two studies from prominent Indiana Universities, Purdue University and Ball State University, help explain why.
Renewables and Access to Highspeed Internet
Because of payments made from solar and other renewable energy projects, some rural communities are able to provide highspeed internet access in places where there is none today. This high speed access is vital as schools and businesses increasingly rely heavily on remote learning and work from home.
