In the Hoosier State teachers earn an average of $51,456. Adjusted for the state's low cost of living, that's more like $56,795. Even with good pay, the state is looking for more teachers in special education, math, and science, especially in inner-city and rural areas.
Cuurently, 16 states-Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Texas-plus the District of Columbia have deregulated electricity markets in some form.
The answer, at least from a policy perspective, depends on the state. How hydropower is counted toward renewable electricity standards varies from state to state perhaps more than any other type of generation. More than 30 states have passed renewable electricity standards, which require utilities to generate a percentage of their power from renewable sources. Every state counts some hydropower, but the fine print is far from uniform. In the Midwest, for example: â¢Iowa and Minnesota allow utilities to count electricity from small hydropower facilities only. Iowa doesn't define small, while Minnesota sets the upper limit at 100 megawatts.
