Abstract
The purpose of this study is to interview Iowans to show some of the dramatic unforeseen problems people have trying to put up a wind turbine:
1. What were the problems or misconceptions people had with the State of Iowa government, their county/city government, and their local REC?
2. What were the big hurdles they had to deal with in construction?
3. What incentives, grants or loans, if any, were used to finance their project?
4. And what are the benefits received by putting the turbine up?
