Groups join to protest power plant plans
Advertisements [?]
This group does present an interesting question about whether or not Gov. Culver has the power to stop these coal fired plants from being built..

A pair of environmental groups from Waterloo and Marshalltown will gather in Des Moines this afternoon to urge Gov. Chet Culver to place a moratorium on construction of coal-fired power plants in Iowa.

Both cities have proposals to build coal-fired plants on the table, and both projects have come under scrutiny from environmental groups. LS Power has proposed a 750-meagwatt plant in Waterloo, and Alliant Energy has proposed a 660-megawatt plant in Marshalltown.

Today’s protest is scheduled to begin at 1:15 p.m. in the west wing of the first floor rotunda of the State Capitol.
