Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle announces $80M renewable energy strategy

Initiative includes plans for nation’s first cellulosic ethanol plant

Gov. Jim Doyle today proposed a joint public-private initiative to allocate $80 million in state funds for the development of renewable energy programs in Wisconsin.

Doyle said the money – which includes tax credits, low-interest loans, and grants that would come from business development fund allotments and the sale of state bonds – would leverage an additional $370 million in private investment to marshal economic resources around biofuels.

"As I’ve always said, when it comes to our energy future, we should be more dependent on the Midwest and less dependent on the Mideast," Doyle said.
