Our Concerns
Operational Excellence
 Each
of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company's diversified fuel sources – coal,
geothermal, hydroelectric, natural gas, nuclear and wind – has different
environmental implications.
Electricity generated from fossil fuels results in emissions to the air;
nuclear power raises issues regarding the handling and storage of radioactive
waste; and hydroelectric power can impact river systems, wetlands and biodiversity.
Transmission and distribution of power and the delivery of natural gas also

of these systems.

to explain each process. Take a guided tour of one of our power facilities
from the comfort of your own chair by selecting from any of the following:
