About We Energies leaving a pro-coal lobbying group

For the utilities, Emission Accompished.

No need to spend money on a lobbying effort against Obama-era proposals to reduce coal-fired production of energy

when effort's organizer is now chief air 'regulator' at the US EPA.

In 2017, documents show that We Energies paid $262,594 to the Utility Air Regulatory Group, an umbrella organization represented by Washington, D.C., attorney Bill Wehrum. Wehrum has been the top air regulator at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency since November.
