Alliant Energy Coal Plant Proposal, by Downtown Dailies

Alliant Energy's proposed 300 megawatt coal burning power plant in Cassville WI It seems as if Wisconsin's electric utilities are racing to build new coal-burning power plants or retrofit their existing bygone-era dinosaurs before new carbon emission regulations penalize the foolishness of such endeavor. This is not a good faith effort by our public utilities who mislead us into thinking that they are leading Wisconsin in the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future. In Wisconsin, more than 70% of the electricity is produced by burning coal. Coal is abundant, and coal is cheap. But it is cheap only if the environmental and societal impacts are disregarded.
