DES MOINES, Iowa, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Environmental advocates have filed a motion with the Iowa Utilities Board to compel MidAmerican Energy to back its claims that its coal plants are a responsible use of customers' money.

Key Points: 
  • "Iowans are paying more for coal generation to pollute our air, lands, and waters - that's not in question.What we don't know is how much extra we're paying," said IEC Energy Program Director Kerri Johannsen.
  • The environmental groups have provided studies showing that MidAmerican's coal plants are uneconomic and pointed to the tens of billions of dollars of potential investment made available by the recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, making coal alternatives all the cheaper.
  • "If MidAmerican can simply choose not to show the board certain studies, it can remove better options from consideration, hamstringing the board in its duties."
  • Residents and businesses deserve a full airing of the risks and benefits of MidAm's planning," said Sierra Club Beyond Coal Campaign Representative Katie Rock.
