“Saving the World” at Bare Bones Brew
What can going solar do for a small business? Bare Bones Brewery in Oshkosh found out after they installed solar panels four years ago.
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 $21 billion every year in avoided health damages from air pollution.
By investing in homegrown renewable energy, Wisconsin can rebuild a strong economy, make our communities healthier, and create a bright future where all our kids and grandkids can thrive.
Technologies like battery storage are becoming more cost-competitive. Investing in these technologies is critical to bringing more flexibility to the grid and allowing renewable sources like wind and solar to meet our state’s energy needs.
