Midterms Statement from Peter Barca, Chairman of Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future – Wisconsin

“Congratulations to Governor-elect David Crowley and Lt. Governor-elect Sarah Godlewski on their victory, and to the newly elected members of the Wisconsin Legislature. As Wisconsin prepares for a new legislative session, there is an opportunity to address some of the important energy challenges facing our state.

“Wisconsin families and businesses need energy that is affordable, reliable and increasingly clean. Our recent statewide polling shows strong bipartisan support for a balanced approach that brings together natural gas and renewable energy as Wisconsin continues its transition away from coal.

“Natural Allies looks forward to working with Governor-elect Crowley and legislative leaders to advance practical energy policies that reduce emissions, protect consumers from rising costs and ensure Wisconsin has the reliable energy infrastructure needed to support economic growth and good-paying jobs.”
