December 12, 2014 3:05 pm Leave a comment

The town of Carlton is disputing the state Department of Revenue's decision to accept a lower equalized value for the closed Kewaunee Power Station.

New tool helps track congressional assets

November 28, 2014 9:39 am Leave a comment

Rep. Tom Petri, R-Wis., speaks May 3 at the Republican Party of Wisconsin State Convention in Milwaukee.

He is leaving Congress after 36 years, but his conflicts related to those assets have put him in the hot seat. (AP photo by Jeffrey Phelps)

Wisconsin lags on renewable energy

October 10, 2014 11:37 am Leave a comment

Dane County Regional Airport’s new Airfield Maintenance Building has a 58,000-square-foot garage topped with 376 photovoltaic panels that are capable of producing as much as 135,000 kilowatt hours of electricity in a year. Similar new solar electric projects, according to Renew Wisconsin, a nonprofit advocacy group, have fallen since Gov. Scott Walker took office in 2010.

Matt Neumann needs only one word to describe Wisconsin’s recent record on renewable energy: “rotten.”
