Support the Wisconsin Clean Energy Jobs Act!
ATTEND A KEY PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE WI CLEAN ENERGY JOBS ACT
The Clean Energy Jobs Act (AB 649/SB 450) was introduced January 7, 2010. The bill, sponsored by four legislative committee chairs (Sens. Miller and Plale, Reps. Soletski and Black) incorporates several energy-related policies recommended by Governor Doyle’s Global Warming Task Force. If adopted, it would increase the state’s Renewable Energy Standard to 25% by 2025. It would institute renewable energy buyback rates that would stimulate the installation of smaller-scale renewable generation. The bill also expands the list of eligible renewable energy energy resources to include solar hot water systems, solar light fixtures, biomass heating systems, and renewable natural gas (from dairy sources).
The last public hearing on the Clean Energy Jobs Act will be held in the Assembly Committee on Clean Energy Jobs Monday, February 15, 2010 at 10:00 AM at the State Capitol in Madison, RM 412E.
The Sierra Club, John Muir Chapter (Wisconsin), has an easy way for you to register your support online. If you can attend this hearing, then you can testify in person.
The Sierra Club states that legislators have told them that they are not hearing enough from their constituents on the need to take action on climate change in Wisconsin- especially young people who will be most impacted by climate change. They are hearing daily from lobbyists who oppose clean energy.
Please show your support for this important legislative act in Wisconsin.
