Iowa acid rain rules threaten coal supply and bills
Iowa faces proposed sulfur dioxide limits affecting Midwest coal buyers and utilities. The rule could raise Iowa electric costs as utilities shift from locally mined coal to higher priced Colorado or Wyoming coal, while sparing sandstone buildings from erosion. Experts cite environmental costs and industry boosts in washing coal, with state rule aligning to federal standards amid national debate.
