UW’s coal cutback

An agreement’s been reached, to reduce pollution from a state owned power plant. It’s the University of Wisconsin’s Charter Street plant, the subject of a lawsuit by the Sierra Club. Alan Fish, associate vice chancellor for facilities at the UW, says the plant will begin burning 15% less coal starting in January, and will also begin work on a long term solution for the plant, located in the heart of the Madison campus.
