From what I read in the article, the PSC is trying to protect the citizens from Wisconsin in two ways. First, the cost of electricity from this plant is higher than the PSC thought it should be and Second, they thought is was creating too much pollution.

PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.
