MILWAUKEE, Wis. – The Clean Economy Coalition of Wisconsin released the following statement on Rep. Tenorio’s proposal to commit the state to 100% carbon-free energy by 2050:
The Clean Economy Coalition of Wisconsin welcomes efforts that move our state forward to build a more affordable, reliable clean energy future. The legislation introduced today by Representative Angelito Tenorio contributes to the important and productive discussion about how Wisconsin can transition to 100% clean energy while supporting families, businesses and communities across the state.
We appreciate Representative Tenorio’s ongoing engagement with members of the coalition and his willingness to listen to and incorporate feedback as he developed this proposal. Dirty fossil fuels are contributing to skyrocketing energy prices, and Wisconsinites want energy that is affordable, reliable and clean. Rep. Tenorio is advancing the dialogue about how we get there, and we look forward to continued engagement with him and fellow legislators to identify practical ways that move Wisconsin toward an affordable, reliable 100% clean energy future.
