After a nice lunch, we stopped at a local business in Washington called PowerCom.
When we pulled up the building just north of the town square, I didn't know what to think.
However, I soon found that this company is on the front lines of the green energy revolution.
PowerCom is a new company that was started four years ago by two local entrepreneurs. They had a vision to design and help create energy efficient solutions for Iowa's Ag community. Now, that vision has become a reality as they work with farmers to reduce their energy use. But its more than just local farmers. They are now working with some of our state's biggest firms, like John Deere.
PowerCom is the type of company that we need more of, small start-ups that are helping to not only create jobs and grow the economy, but also to help us realize our goal of being a leader in energy efficiency. The Governor and I have worked hard to help create companies like this through economic development programs like the Iowa Power Fund and the Iowa Values Fund, and we are going to keep on doing that work as long as we are in office.
I was really happy that we stopped here at PowerCom and could see for ourselves the great work they are doing.

Until then,
