Area legislators learned more about the Consumers Energy plug-in hybrid Toyota Prius and even one got to take it for a spin.
Sen. Steve Sodders, D-State Center, Rep. Mark Smith, D-Marshalltown, Rep. Annette Sweeney, R-Alden, and Sen. Rob Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids, all visited Consumers Energy Thursday to learn more about the car and renewable energy.
Brian Heithoff, CEO of Consumers Energy, said Hogg approached him about having a day where the legislators could learn about the car.
