47% : Despite political resistance, responsible businesses are stepping up.
46% : At a time when clean energy and storage solutions are proving to be more reliable and cost-effective, doubling down on fossil fuel dependency is a financial and environmental mistake Wisconsin simply can't afford.
42% : Conflicts with We Energies' climate goals and corporate objectives We Energies has publicly committed to reducing carbon emissions by 80% by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
33% : If Wisconsin fails to follow suit, residents and businesses could face skyrocketing energy costs and stranded fossil fuel assets that quickly become obsolete.
32% : Locking in new gas plants while battery storage and renewables continue to outpace fossil fuels is an expensive mistake Wisconsin can't afford.
