MidAmerican Energy owns and operates five coal plants in Iowa, which are part of Berkshire Hathaway Energy’s coal fleet that was found to be the dirtiest in the country by a Reuters analysis. The short film examines the cost of MidAmerican Energy’s coal plants in Iowa through first-hand accounts shared by families who live near the coal plants, doctors who have seen the health impacts of coal pollution, and the advocates fighting for something better. “The response to 'Iowa’s Dirty Secret' has been beyond anything we imagined,” said Trevor Tejeda-Gervais, the film’s director. “Our goal was simply to expose the harm caused by MidAmerican Energy’s coal plants, but the outpouring of support — from sold-out theaters to award recognition — has been incredible.” Get involved in the Clean Up MidAm campaign here. |
