  2. There is enough potential to wind energy to power our planet 10 times more than non-renewable sources ( And that's not even including all the hot air from Republicans who keep trying to shut down the wind farms.

  3. Yes, "out of touch with reality" unless your reality happens to be you are a neighbor of something like this. But the collective good can't be bothered by that thought.

  4. We should probably look at reversing the CAFE standards, allow lead back in gasoline, and stop insulating our homes as well, because the world has an endless supply of fossil fuels. And don't get me started with "renewables are subsidized". Guess what? So is the very mature and very profitable oil and energy industry.

    Let's move forward with wind and solar and stop drilling for a fuel that will run out...

  6. If wind power were viable, it wouldn’t need to be mandated.

  7. Fartin' Glenn Grothman is blowing his mindless exhaust again. He is the most backwards thinking, boneheaded, extremist right wing idiot in the state. Sets a all time new low for stupidity every time the fool opens his mouth. This bill needs to be dead on arrival when it its the legislative floor. What a dope!
  8. Mandating more renewable energy when the energy isn't needed doesn't make a lot of sense. Renewables are more expensive and needlessly add cost to energy bills during some tough economic times for most people. Better to build more renewables when more power is needed rather than add to the power glut that already exists just to meet some arbitrary mandate.

  9. Hey Sen. Grothman. I think you missed the memo from the gov. He said he doesn't see any sense in refighting battles that have already been decided. He wants the state to move forward. You are out of touch.
  10. How many wells have to be contaminated to change your mind Sen. Grothman? The current crop of conservatives in this state are an embarrassment to the Wisconsin's legacy of protecting the environment. Maybe Sen. Grothman could tell us what everyone will do once our environment is completely destroyed?
