WIEG Blocks Costly Global Warming Bill
Business and manufacturing members of the Wisconsin Industrial Energy Group recently killed the global warming bill by forcefully showing lawmakers the damage it could have done to the state’s economy and its manufacturing base.
The bill would have mandated a fourth of our electricity come from renewable energy sources within 15 years at a cost of $20 billion or more. That would have meant dramatically higher electric rates - a blow to our state’s manufacturing competitiveness. Fortunately, legislators heard WIEG's message loud & clear, and killed the global warming bill.
