Since I am from further north, I consider Iowa to be more Midwest than upper Midwest. We do have some wind mills around, but they are stationary more often than not, especially in the period I mentioned in January where we don't get much sun or wind. If we littered the landscape of Iowa with enough windmills to fill chemical or mechanical batteries, though, that might cut down on the distance we need to import energy at least.
