Environmental Groups Ask Court To Review PSC Decision On Power Plant

Two environmental groups have filed a complaint asking that Public Service Commission approval for a natural gas power plant in Superior be reviewed.  The complaint was filed in Dane County Circuit Court Friday by Clean Water Wisconsin and the Sierra Club.  Opponents to the Nemadji Trail Energy Center question the possible depletion of an aquifer and the lack of adherence to alternative sources of power – like wind, solar and battery storage.  The results of an aquifer pumping test conducted last fall are being challenged.
