Iowans have been led to believe that their energy is clean, yet Iowa's MidAmerican Energy operates 5 coal plants! Watch this award-winning documentary by @CleanUpMidAm to see how community members, like @CleanAirMoms_IA and @ecomadres_ organizer Karin Stein, are speaking out.

Iowans! Take note and help us ask @MidAm_EnergyCo to expand their clean energy production and switch to all-renewable energy sooner than they propose. We have the technology do do away with coal - now. The health of our children and planet demand it! @Reuters
MidAmerican spends millions of dollars trying to convince you that they are a leader in renewable energy, but the facts tell otherwise. Check out the new special report from Reuters to see the real impact of their coal pollution: reut.rs/42cYyRu #CleanUpMidAm

👇 In 2024, Moms in Iowa were proud to support efforts to fight for cleaner air for our children!
As 2024 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to look back at all of the tireless work Iowans have done this year to fight for more reliable and affordable clean energy, to protect our air and water, and to hold MidAmerican accountable! #CleanUpMidAm

Utilities in Iowa are considered monopolies over their service areas. @MidAm_EnergyCo is one of them. It's time for them to close their polluting coal plants across the Midwest. #NoMoreCoal
Today, we’re releasing the first of five new trading cards for you to collect! But instead of featuring your favorite baseball players or Pokémon, they highlight the costs of MidAmerican’s reckless choice to burn coal across our state. Take action: cleanupmidam.com/tradingcard… #CleanUpMidAm

This op-ed is worth a read.
"Why does MidAmerican Energy want to criminalize homelessness? You would think that a utility company would be utilitarian in its work, seeking the greatest good for the greatest number of people, but clearly, this isn't the case for MidAmerican." #CleanUpMidAm bit.ly/3Md0EI3

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. subscriber.politicopro.com/a…

Mercury is a naturally occurring, highly toxic heavy metal found in coal—& when coal is burned for energy, mercury is released into the air.
It's time we #CleanUpMidAm & transition to a just clean energy future. Thank you @iowaipl @CleanUpMidAm for hosting this #EarthDay action.

Did you know MidAmerican Energy is still operating six coal-burning power plants that pollute in Iowa?
Coal not only causes the highest levels of climate pollution, it also causes local pollutants that cause or exacerbate asthma and produces toxic heavy metals like mercury.
Thank you to everyone that came out to today's #EarthDay Action, and shout out to @iowaipl for all of their work making this event a success! Iowans sent a clear message to MidAmerican Energy — it's time to transition away from coal! #CleanUpMidAm
