Biofuels, wind, solar eyed as viable options for Wisconsin
From a story by Pete Bach in the Appleton Post Crescent:
Wisconsin appears to be all about cultivating renewable energy sources.
A look around the region finds a Neenah paper mill among the leaders in the developing field, while an ethanol production plant is going full tilt west of Oshkosh.
Now the prospect that a northern Wisconsin paper mill might become the first fossil fuel independent facility of its type in North America is another step closer to reality.
These projects represent a mounting effort to develop alternate energy sources as Wisconsin strives for greater independence from oil and natural gas to power homes and industrial plants.
Some more good news.
According to some newly released research, PV solar panel use in homes is due to soar in the next five years:

But you all knew that, didn’t you!
