Brown Co. joins state partnership for clean energy

From an article by Mike Mhoeft in the Green Bay Press Gazette:

Brown County is among 100 communities in the state that have joined the Wisconsin Energy Independent Community Partnership, Gov. Jim Doyle said.

The communities have pledged to work toward Doyle's goal of generating 25 percent of the state's electricity and transportation fuels from renewable resources by the year 2025.

Brown County will host the final presentation of the so-called 25x25 E1 pilot plan Dec. 17 at the Neville Public Museum of Brown County in Green Bay.

The partnership is the first of its kind in the nation and is an integral part of Doyle's plan to move Wisconsin toward energy independence. The plan details strategies to move Wisconsin forward to promote renewable energy, create new jobs, increase energy security and improve the environment.
