2022 Condition of the State

Iowa’s renewable energy leadership has been often-praised and is real. But as we approach higher levels of renewables, our electric utilities continue to own and operate massive coal operations, polluting Iowa’s air and water, risking health, and costing us money on our utility bills. 

Business as usual, following the plans of Iowa utilities to burn coal well into the next several decades, will simply not achieve the fast but reliable transition we need to clean energy.

On September 14, IEC hosted the 2022 Condition of the State webinar, taking a closer look at the state of Iowa's energy generation, where Iowa's emissions are coming from, and the impacts Iowa's remaining fossil fuel generation has on our environment, health, and pocketbooks.
