Tom Content and Lee Bergquist cover Wisconsin's addiction to coal in an impressive series of articles in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. One story includes a terrific quote from the Sierra Club's Bruce Nilles: “We're at the forefront of going backwards."Wisconsin generates greenhouse gases linked to global warming at a rate that is about one-third faster than the national average, a Journal Sentinel analysis found.
This trend will only escalate because the state's utilities are on the leading edge of a national building boom of coal-burning power plants, fueled by an ever-increasing appetite for electricity.
