Last night, Protestors tried to stop a bill that would give the go-ahead to construction of a new nuclear power plant in Iowa.
A bill is currently working its way through the state house that would allow utility companies to begin exploring the possibility of a new nuclear power plant.
Protestors say they are worried about what this bill will mean for consumers, as far as rate hikes.
According to Legislators in support of the bill, they added several amendments to protect consumers including new language that says MidAmerican cannot charge customers until work has actually started.
According to Senator Matt McCoy, And even if the bill is approved, that doesn’t mean MidAmerican Energy can immediately move forward.
Lawmakers are hoping the bill is approved by the senate commerce committee on Monday, which would mean the full Senate could soon take it up.
