Madison: A Sierra Club lawsuit filed in federal court Thursday says the UW violated the Clean Air Act by not installing modern pollution controls on the Charter St. Power Plant when they made upgrades in the past.
The Sierra Club calls the UW Charter St. Power Plant a 53 year old coal-fired dinosaur, and a lawsuit filed in federal court says the UW has violated state and federal law in keeping that dinosaur alive.
“The university for the last decade has been unlawfully modifying this power plant, a 50 year old power plant that still today lacks modern pollution controls,” says Sierra Club member Bruce Nilles.
