Sounds like a good idea. A higher tax on oil would also help.

Comment on SC Johnson cuts GHG emissions by 26 percent by Pamela Funk-Zuppo

As an evironmental studies college student, many courses have been devoted to corporate responsibility to all stakeholders, including the environment (air, land, and water). Having done research on the ethics of many US organizations, I found S.C. Johnson Company is an admirable front leader. It is continuously the recipient of ethical awards and their ads – both print and televised – focus on environmental issues as motivators of their continuing product innovation. They also center their advertisements in the theme of being a “family” business. S.C. Johnson’s published Public Report indicates a commitment of being a sustainable company with a mission “making life better for people and the planet.” They have developed a “green list” of product ingredients that are harmless to consumers and additionally they’re manufacturing processes have been structurally redesigned (including the use of renewable energy) to reduce harmful affects impacting the environment. Lastly, their product pricing is perceived as fair and affordable by most consumers.

S.C. Johnson is a model to be assumed by all US manufacturers.

It’s clear that Koch bros. back Gov. Walker (for a variety of reasons) and it is well known that they back the opposition to Cape Wind (one of them lives there, I believe), but is there evidence of their actually funding anti-wind groups in Wisconsin? It seems unlikely that, eg, Lynda Barry of Better Plan Wisconsin is taking their money.

PS: It was WPS that bought out neighbors in Kewaunee Cty.

The Koch brothers have poured hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, into Wisconsin. Unfortunately, anti-wind groups don’t have to disclosre their sources of funs. Plenty of documentation shows that David Koch put at least one million into fighting the wind project off of Cape Cod.

Are the Koch brothers involved in Wisconsin battles, too? Or are they mentioned only to trumpet fear (one fear to trump another’s)?

Another example of facts trumpeting the fears drummed up by the Koch brothers.

Didn’t MG&E buy out several neighbors?

I wouldn’t expect any new capacity to come on line until Walker is out of office. This time, let’s try to find someone not being bought-and-paid-for by the Koch brothers, shall we???
