Help Keep Rural Electricity Affordable

January 06, 2012
Access Energy Cooperative, along with many other Iowa cooperatives and the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives (IAEC), our statewide association, have been very active in Des Moines and Washington, D.C., making sure our legislators know what effects laws could have on utility costs for our members.
    
In the past year, various out-of-state environmental groups have injected misleading TV, newspaper and automated telephone call advertisements into essential discussions on needed baseload generation in Iowa. We believe these out-of-state special interest groups have no legitimate stake in Iowa’s energy future, and their intentions are remarkably disingenuous and intentionally misleading on proposed legislation.
    
Increased baseload energy, as part of an on overall energy package that includes renewable resources, will mean reliable, affordable, safe electricity delivered in an environmentally responsible manner in the future for electric cooperative members, agribusiness and other partners in business in rural Iowa.
