News » Groups speaking out against Clean Energy bill
Feb. 3, 2010
Some business leaders are raising concerns about Governor Doyle's Clean Energy bill.
Edward Wilusz of the Wisconsin Paper Council says the proposal would dramatically increase their energy costs, forcing paper mills to consider cutting jobs or moving somewhere else.
The Governor wants the state to generate at least 25 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2025.
Erin Roth of the Wisconsin Petroleum Marketers Association says proposed emissions standards could also increase prices at the pump, by creating the need for special types of fuel.
Supporters argue the bill will save money in the long run and create more jobs than would be lost. The proposal was the subject of a public hearing at the Capitol yesterday. |
