Possible New MidAmerican Engergy Power Plant

Post by nebugeater »

I work with some people that live in or near Thurman Iowa and have heard mention of a MidAmerican Energy Power plant near Thurman for a while.  Most of the rumors are around that plant being nuclear.  Here is a story fromt he OWH today that mentions the same and gives it a bit of credibility as far as information to back the rumors.  The lastest I have heard from the people that live there is that there is negotiation going on with a property owner for 400 -500 acres but no deal done yet.  


Here is the story.

THURMAN, Iowa — MidAmerican Energy appears to be looking at this community 40 miles south of Omaha as a potential site for a new nuclear power facility.

About 40 landowners and other residents in Fremont County recently received invitations to a meeting today that will be hosted by the company in Hamburg.

The note said only that MidAmerican is reviewing sites in Iowa for “future electric generating plants” and that the company plans to take soil samples from properties in the Thurman area.

But fliers left at the Fremont County Courthouse for curious residents were more specific.

Titled: “Nuclear Generation in Iowa,” the flier notes that in 2010, the Iowa Legislature directed MidAmerican to complete a three-year study on the construction of nuclear facilities in the state.
