Wisconsin jettisons LADWP Coal strategy

At Beyond Brilliance, Beyond Stupidity, Wisconsin Energy is being panned for its plan to build coal-fired electric generation in the Southern suburbs of Milwaukee. Although not in California, these purple-staters could take a lesson from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power...which also burns coal. Rather than putting the polluting power plant near its customers, however, LADWP believes in environmental justice--and has placed its coal-powered generation in Utah.
