City, county officials push UW to ditch coal power entirely

Madison and Dane County elected officials are adding their voices to the chorus of those pushing the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the state to create cleaner power downtown and around campus.

Nine members of Madison’s City Council and six supervisors from the Dane County Board sent a letter to UW-Madison Chancellor John Wiley and state Administration Secretary Michael Morgan last week after the university and state held a town hall meeting to get public input on a long-term feasibility study of potential power sources for the university and state Capitol.
