MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A proposal designed to make Wisconsin a renewable energy leader appears to have run out of gas in the Legislature.
The state Senate does not intend to vote on the bill Thursday, the final day of the legislative session and coincidentally the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, dooming the energy bill.
The Assembly was supposed to vote on passing the measure that requires 25 percent of the state’s energy come from renewable sources by 2025 but delayed action until Thursday. The measure must pass both houses before being sent to Gov. Jim Doyle, a major backer of the bill.
