Doyle: No coal at UW by 2012

In an effort to better the environment, the University of Wisconsinâ??s Charter Street heating plant will no longer burn coal, Gov. Jim Doyle announced Friday.

A biomass boiler will be installed by 2012, which will produce 250,000 tons of biomass each year, supplying UW with steam for heating and cooling, according to a statement from Doyle.
