What's True for Wisconsin Green Energy is True Elsewhere

Through the use of renewable energy, Wisconsin can reduce its project growth in greenhouse gases by 21 percent between 1990 and 2010, while creating 8,500 new jobs and $490 million in disposable income. The 1998 report by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Department of Energy shows “the scare-mongering by some Wisconsin industries is wildly off base,” says Steven Clemmer, senior energy analyst with the Union of Concerned Scientists. “The amount of electricity saved would be equivalent to the electricity consumed annually in Wisconsin by over one million households.”
