You did it, #Waterloo! 🎉 Tonight, the city council adopted a community-wide 24/7 carbon-free electricity goal by the year 2035! This makes Waterloo the second city in #Iowa and the fourth nationwide to take up this ambitious decarbonization commitment.

The goal sets Waterloo apart from other types of #CleanEnergy goals typically seen at the local level. The city will seek electricity that is carbon-free, around-the-clock, instead of using less aggressive approaches that utilize carbon offsets seen with some other 100% #RenewableEnergy pledges.

Waterloo has demonstrated its #climate leadership, and now the work begins to ensure the city meets this target swiftly, affordably, and equitably. But for now, let's pause to celebrate this momentous victory in the fight for a #CarbonFreeFuture.

We can't wait to see which city in #Iowa is next! 💯

The Des Moines City Council approved 13-year franc

The Des Moines City Council approved 13-year franchise agreements with MidAmerican Energy yesterday.

While the franchise agreements lack opt-out clauses, we're hopeful for the side agreement which includes provisions for developing an implementation plan for the City's #CleanEnergy goals and promises to provide previously unavailable city-level tracking data on #RenewableEnergy. 💯

📣 TAKE ACTION: Des Moines showed leadership on

📣 TAKE ACTION: Des Moines showed leadership on #ClimateAction by passing a resolution calling for 24/7 carbon-free electricity by the year 2035. The MidAmerican Energy franchise agreement is a critical moment to make this commitment a reality.

The current proposal—which the city voted to advance last week— would extend the city’s agreement to the year 2035, which is the deadline for Des Moines’ to reach its #CleanEnergy goal. It’s imperative that this agreement includes options to terminate the agreement at years three (2025) and eight (2030) if MidAmerican is not fulfilling its commitments to the city’s energy goals.

Other cities in Iowa have franchise agreements that offer exit clauses throughout their contract—Des Moines is not unreasonable to request the same. Our communities and our #climate are too important to sign away our only leverage until 2035 when it will be too late to correct course.

DSM, residents: The city meets for the second of three readings next Tuesday, 5/17 at 7:30 a.m. Visit our (link in bio) to tell the City Council ahead of time that you support holding MidAmerican accountable to its promise. 🔗
