This also ran in Sioux City, The Quad Cities and other state newspapers.

It would be very helpful if we could get 2-3 letters to the editor in
response to this: one thanking the Iowa Senate Democrats for standing up
for consumers; another explaining that the legislation is unneeded -
nuclear is already allowed in Iowa if it can compete; and another attacking
Kraig Paulsen and the Iowa House for passing the bill on the 25th
anniversary of Chernybol a month after Fukushima.

Nuclear power is not clean, safe or cheap. It is dirty, dangerous and
expensive even when you used an untested, unlicensed and never been built
technology like these unicorn like small modular reactors.

Here are few better options for MidAmerican Energy to consider in order:

1. Serious Energy Conservation
2. Real efforts at Energy Efficiency
3. Renewable Energy including large amounts of distributed generation
(small wind & solar).
4. No New Nukes or Coal
5. Sustainably extracted Natural Gas (no fracking)
