Marion Denger, president of the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives, said the co-ops were working to mobilize a grassroots effort to get customers to talk to their congressmen about EPA's possible use of the Clean Air Act to regulate GHGs, an idea he believed was seriously flawed, Radio Iowa reported. He said also that federal climate-change legislation appears to be stalled.
Wrote Radio Iowa: "Denger says whatever the plan is to charge for carbon credits, the money needs to be put back into research. He says there is an ample supply of fossil fuels, and they need to be used in a clean and reliable way, as he says they are stewards of the land also."
