ELPC Attorney Rob Kelter in Des Moines Register: Utility Fights Cap-and-Trade to Protect Profits, Not Consumers
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
The electric utility MidAmerican Energy recently made headlines in Iowa as it vowed to “fight to its last breath” against national climate and energy legislation currently being considered in the Senate.
MidAmerican claims that the company’s motivation is to protect consumers, but in a guest column in the Des Moines Register, ELPC Senior Attorney Rob Kelter wrote that the best way to protect consumers is to support strong federal climate change legislation.
Kelter’s column states that the company should act responsibly by working to create a sustainable, clean energy future rather than fighting against solutions to climate change.
