> COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT PROPOSED FOR WATERLOO
> 
> LS Power of New Jersey recently announced plans to
> build a 750 MW pulverized
> coal-burning power plant northeast of downtown
> Waterloo.  The proposed
> construction of this power plant, which plans to
> sell most of its power
> outside of Iowa, is raising public debate about the
> future of energy
> generation. To date 3,000 citizens have signed a
> petition opposing the
> plant.  To build, LS Power must get permission from
> the local planning body
> (Waterloo and Black Hawk County), the Department of
> Natural
> Resources, and the Iowa Utilities Board.  To find
> out more about the plant
