Historic decision will save ratepayers money and reduce pollution MADISON — Wisconsin regulators rejected a proposal to build a conventional coal plant for the first time in state history today when the Public Service Commission voted unanimously to reject Alliant Energy’s highly controversial $1.

MADISON — Wisconsinites overwhelmingly oppose Alliant Energy’s proposal to build a coal-fired power plant on the shores of the Mississippi River in Cassville, Wisconsin according to documents filed before the Public Service Commission yesterday afternoon.

MADISON — Utilities will be required to reduce mercury pollution from coal-fired power plants by 90 percent by 2015 or by the same amount by 2021 if they agree to more stringent standards for other pollutants, after the State Legislature's Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules failed to object to the measure today.
