A new report says Governor Evers’ push to be carbon-free by 2050 comes with a 250 billion-dollar price tag.
The Center of the American Experiment released its report this week. The study looks at the cost associated with closing coal and natural gas power plants, as well as the cost to build new solar farms and wind turbines. The report notes that 65 percent of Wisconsin power currently comes from coal or natural gas. Just two-and-a-half percent comes from wind. The report also says utilities are going to have to charge customers thousands-more per-year to pay for the transition.
