ELPC has been a champion of the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) for twenty years, as part of the Farm Bill’s Energy Title.

ELPC’s new ([link removed]) report ([link removed]) features seven stories of people who have used REAP to reduce their energy costs and environmental impacts, along with recommendations for improving the program in the upcoming Farm Bill.

** MidAmerican Energy Studies Confirm: Solar is Best for Iowa ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

The Iowa Utilities Board Order forced MidAmerican to release its planning studies that show solar is the lowest-cost path to achieving carbon-free energy. But, despite its own studies’ findings, MidAmerican has announced no plans to retire its coal plants before 2050. ELPC & partners will continue to hold them accountable.

** ELPC Urges Michigan Supreme Court to Protect Waterways from CAFO Pollution ([link removed])

ELPC and partners are urging the Michigan Supreme Court to reverse a lower court ruling on Clean Water Act permits for industrial livestock pollution. If left unchanged, that ruling would wipe out two landmark environmental laws and harm our water. β€œThe stakes couldn’t be higher,” said ELPC Senior Attorney Rob Michaels.
