We Energies plans a $1.2 billion gas plant in Wisconsin, facing environmental opposition.

We Energies proposes a $1.2 billion natural gas power plant in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, set to start in 2028, amid opposition from environmentalists who favor renewable energy. Public hearings on the project, which aims to phase out coal plants by 2032, are scheduled for March 25. Critics argue the plant could raise energy costs and harm health, while supporters highlight job creation and reliability of natural gas power.
