I believe that there are 38 "units" listed in the Iowa Code. Some sites
have more than one unit, which would account for the difference between
the Code number and the 35 in the message below. As for coal-fired
industrial process facilities, these are a bit more spread out and
mostly consist of grain handling/processing facilities. One I am
familiar with is a family-owned business with deep local roots; one is a
foreign-owned facility; and most of the rest are owned by domestic
multinational corporations of considerable size. All are complaining
mightily about overregulation and the high cost of emissions and
permitting fees. Few seem willing to pay the expenses for the services -
permitting, inspections, consultations on pollution controls and
regulatory requirements - that they receive from government entities
that are charged with these duties under the Clean Air Act.

Iowa has a total of 35 coal-fired power plants and coal-fired industrial
plants (ethanol, corn milling). And Alliant has begun decommissioning 1
power plant in Iowa -- the Sixth Street Generating Station in Cedar
Rapids. For a complete list of the plants, see

Subject: Club's $50M gift from Mayor Bloomberg
I'm sure you've seen the announcements of the donation from Bloomberg
Philanthropies (NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg) to Sierra Club. $50M over
a couple
years, with $10M being c4 lobby funds and the rest for administrative
advocacy,
etc, for the Coal to Clean Energy Campaign. The Club is hiring 100 new
staff to
work primarily on closing existing coal plants around the country.
Things are
gearing up.
How many coal plants does Iowa have? The universities, the one in Mike
Gronstal's district, the monster one in Southern IA... ???
It's time to shut them down. Thanks for the helping hand, Mayor
Bloomberg.
