Beyond Oil, Coal, and Gas

Nathaniel Baer with the Iowa Environmental Counsel joins to talk about the wealth of renewable fuels Iowa could develop more quickly than any of the nonrenewable alternatives. We also talk about the US Supreme Court's deliberations on the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8. And we discuss the contested meeting in Muscatine County last night over Mid-American Energy's proposal to cite a nuclear power plant there. Finally, we discussed the dust-up in the Iowa Senate between Sen. Herman Quirmbach and newly-elected Sen. Amy Sinclair.
