The University of Iowa Power Plant burns 93,000 tons of coal annually. If that was piled on the 50-yard line at Kinnick Stadium, the mount would be over 100 feet tall, cover the playing field and extend into the stands. And, that’s only a fraction of the university’s coal use: The power plant only generates 20-30 percent of the UI’s energy. — image by Adam Burke
