Hence the company name.

Through careful management and by only representing quality products the Rootcellar has endured through many business cycles.Energy Services adviser for Muscatine Power and Water (MP&W) - John’s responsibilities for MP&W have include performing energy audits on homes and business, teaching energy efficiency and renewable energy in schools and developing new energy related programs for MP&W.
