WEC, (a.k.a. We Energies) is reducing their use of coal, and we thank them for that. However (isn't there always one), they plan to replace some of that coal generation with gas - another fossil fuel. We, the 'climate movement', are pushing hard for a 'direct to renewables' transition.

Below is the opening text and a link to a Sierra Club petition titled "Gas is not a bridge fuel - no new fossil fuels". The petition is directed to the Wisconsin Public Service Commission (PSC) and is only for Wisconsin residents.
