Governor Doyle's Global Warming Task Force met in four Wisconsin cities to discuss possible recommendations to help the state reduce its climate-change pollution. La Crosse Tribune The session was not to debate the science of greenhouse gas emissions — that was made clear from the start. Instead, Gov. Jim Doyle’s task force on global warming focused its first meeting on gathering ideas on how greenhouse gases could be reduced in Wisconsin while still keeping the state’s economy growing. Business leaders and the public were invited to be part of the process, with the two-hour session teleconferenced Monday evening from sites in Madison, Green Bay, Milwau-kee and at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse’s Wing Technology Center. Six work groups in the next two months will look at options in carbon trading, taxes, electric generation, energy conservation and efficiency, forestry and agriculture, industry and transportation. |
