The Midwest boasts tremendous wind potential, a burgeoning biofuels indutstry, vast coal reserves with extensive geological formations for storing carbon dioxide and mature oil reserves that can expand production with enhanced oil recovery. The Midwest also has a strong manufactring sector to produce the infrastructure and components for the renewable energy industry and Midwestern states have enormous potential for energy savings through more efficient technologies and practices.

The MGA is continuing this strong legacy through current efforts in transmission, transportation fuels and carbon capture and storage with enhanced oil recovery. Much of the region's work has been through collaboration of diverse stakeholder groups to work for practical, workable solutions. A listing of the organiztions who have been involved in these processes can be found here - to learn what they are saying about the MGA process, click here.
