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.

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.  

Donna
