Environmental Group Says Power Plants Killing Fish

We Energies' Oak Creek plant mentioned in report.

The environmental advocacy group Sierra Club released a report Thursday blaming water-intake systems at power plants for killing fish and other aquatic life, according to a Journal Sentinel story.

We Energies disputed much of the report, adding that  has been engineered to draw water at low velocity to avoid trapping or killing fish.

It's interesting to note that We Energies is building a fishing pier at its Oak Creek plant. As Patch , it is thought that the pier will be popular because fish are attracted to the warm-water discharge.

another nut case green movement organization. Why dont they look at the deep tunnel train wreck. Funny how that think can dump as much as it wants and nobody gets fined. I so much as pour my soda in the water and I will get the book thrown at me. A bunch environmental wackoes
