If Wisconsin wants to tackle the growing threat of climate change, we need to significantly reduce carbon emissions and transition to a clean energy future.
Clean Wisconsin is working to accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, energy storage, and energy efficiency to help Wisconsin achieve 100% carbon-free electricity by 2050.
Wind and solar are cheaper than coal and gas. Wisconsin sends about $14 billion out of the state each year to import fossil fuels. Instead, we could be focusing on homegrown renewable energy.
In-state production of 100% clean energy would create 162,000 new jobs and save $2-4 billion in avoided health damages from air pollution.
By investing in homegrown renewable energy and expanding transmission, Wisconsin can rebuild a strong economy, make our communities healthier, and create a bright future where all our kids and grandkids can thrive.
To transition away from gas and coal power plants, Wisconsin needs more power lines to carry wind and solar energy. Expanding transmission allows more renewable energy projects to come online and ensures the stability of electricity supply for all residents.
