Environmental Groups Concerned With Area Haze


Several environment groups are taking Minnesota to court over the State's plan to reduce haze in places like the Boundary Waters Wilderness Area and Voyageurs National Park.

They says the State's approach of a pollution trading program on industries that pollute air in those areas won't adequately reduce pollution.

The haze is believed to come mainly from the State's coal-fired power plants.
