Foes of Coal See Hope in Cancellation of Iowa Plant

LS Power, a developer proposing a large, coal-fired power plant near Ely, last week canceled plans for a similar plant in Iowa, and opponents of both plants are hailing the decision as yet another sign that coal is in trouble.

The announcement Tuesday that LS would not build a plant in Waterloo, Iowa, came only days after development partner Dynegy dissolved its partnership with LS. The companies had plans to develop coal plants in Arkansas, Georgia and Michigan, as well as Iowa and Nevada.
