Listen "Gas vs. Green: Wisconsin’s Energy Battle"
Episode Synopsis
Clean Wisconsin is challenging new energy grid rules that prioritize gas-burning plants over renewable sources, claiming they unfairly benefit fossil fuels. A proposed 1.2 gigawatt gas plant exemplifies the issue, potentially sidelining cheaper, cleaner energy like wind and solar. Meanwhile, Milwaukee’s Pettit Ice Arena is embracing sustainability by installing a massive solar rooftop array to cut its energy consumption by 20%. As data centers loom, the question arises: will Wisconsinites shoulder the financial burden of these new power plants? Listen to the Defender Podcast for more on this brewing energy conflict.
