Iowa Beyond Coal Joins Effort to Clean Up MidAm

Iowa Beyond Coal is proud to be a part of the new “Clean Up MidAm'' campaign. This new coalition of organizations and Iowans want to hold MidAmerican Energy accountable for its greenwashing and lack of climate goals. While publicly touting a 100% renewable energy vision, the monopoly utility is operating one of the largest coal fleets in the country with no plans to retire. This power generated from these coal plants is not needed to meet Iowa customers’ energy needs, and continues to be run at the expense of Iowans.

MidAmerican is the single largest carbon polluter in Iowa. Not only is the coal being burned in Iowa hurting the health and wellbeing of Iowans, it’s hurting our pocketbooks. A report filed at the Iowa Utilities Board showed Iowa ratepayers are forced to pay $1.2 billion to keep MidAm’s coal plants running. 

We cannot wait any longer for action. Visit www.cleanupmidam.com to join the coalition today and demand that MidAmerican Energy make a real plan to close coal by 2030.
