MidAmerican generated 23% of its power from fossil fuels in 2022 but claimed 100% renewable energy in Iowa.

@Iowa_Env & ELPC support rescinding a rule legitimizing such claims, calling it misleading. https://t.co/noXL2uS4LP

IEC & @ELPC is calling on the Iowa Utilities Board to rescind its Renewable Energy Verification rules. Initially adopted in 2017, these rules have not kept up with changing clean energy goals, and utilities regularly use the rules to mislead the public. https://t.co/r9HYoWdf7K

The EPA has rejected #Iowa’s Solar for All application ($75m for statewide community #solar). Key items in Iowa’s application reflect insufficient policies on #climate & state leaders’ continued priority of private utility profit over low-income Iowans
