Team effort brings green jobs to Wisconsin Wisconsin
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Moments before I took the stage to moderate the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce Future 50 program at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center last September, an economic development official who shall remain nameless wanted to tell me something.
Moments before I took the stage to moderate the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce Future 50 program at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center last September, an economic development official who shall remain nameless wanted to tell me something.
“Today is very important day. There are representatives from a company from Spain in the room. They’re here to get a feel for what our business community and our business climate are like. They’re thinking of moving jobs here,” the official whispered to me.
With more than 500 people in the room … As if I wasn’t nervous enough!Read Full Article
For Wisconsin’s Doyle, it’s all about green jobs 0

When you think of renewable energy, the image that comes to mind is often a solar array in California, a windmill in Texas, or a cornfield in Iowa.
When you think of renewable energy, the image that comes to mind is often a solar array in California, a windmill in Texas, or a cornfield in Iowa. Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle (D) wants you to think of Wisconsin first, which explains why he’s one of several governors attending the Copenhagen climate talks. I sat down with him for a brief interview.

Wisconsin Leading Solar Energy Push
Sunday, November 22, 2009
It’s easy to understand why states like California and Texas might opt for clean, renewable solar energy to replace fossil-fuel electricity generation. Each has large areas of solar insolation whose values approach 5.5 (on a scale of 2.0 to 9.0 in the continental United States).
It’s easy to understand why states like California and Texas might opt for clean, renewable solar energy to replace fossil-fuel electricity generation. Each has large areas of solar insolation whose values approach 5.5 (on a scale of 2.0 to 9.0 in the continental United States).
Wisconsin, at 2.5 – with a peak of 3.5 – is harder to imagine. Yet Wisconsin is the only state in the union other than California and Texas to have two major cities included in the Solar America Cities program; Milwaukee and Madison.
The Solar America Cities program is an initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy, which aims to see accelerated adoption of solar energy technologies to create a cleaner, more secure energy future. Comprised of 25 major American cities, the program operates through 180 municipal, county and state agencies, as well as solar companies, universities, regional utilities and various non-profit policy organizations, all of whom are committed to seeing solar energy take a front seat at the energy table.Read Full Article
Midwest governors bank on green jobs
Saturday, October 10, 2009
Midwest governors are betting that investments in clean energy technology can help replace more than 1 million manufacturing jobs lost this decade.
Midwest governors are betting that investments in clean energy technology can help replace more than 1 million manufacturing jobs lost this decade.
At a regional jobs and energy forum in Detroit on Wednesday, governors from seven Midwestern states adopted jobs and infrastructure agreements that encourage worker training in renewable energy, energy efficiency, biofuels and advanced coal technologies. Those fields are expected to attract increased investment as industry turns away from carbon emissions.
“We’ve lost 1.2 million manufacturing jobs in the Midwest in the last seven years, and we have an opportunity to get those back if we’re really focused on this area and make it happen,” said John Biondi, president of Madison biofuels technology firm C5-6 Technologies. “It could be done, but we would have to have the political will and the will to execute on some of these programs. If we sit back and say it’ll just happen, if that’s all we do, then it won’t happen.”Read Full Article
WisPolitics: Panel says green jobs depend on stimulus cash being released quickly
Sunday, October 04, 2009
Green job growth in Wisconsin would be helped by faster government distribution of federal stimulus money, a panel of experts told a business event Tuesday.
Green job growth in Wisconsin would be helped by faster government distribution of federal stimulus money, a panel of experts told a business event Tuesday.
But panelists at the “Green Jobs: Growing Wisconsin Employment” event generally were optimistic about the future of high-paying jobs linked to a green economy. About 180 people attended the event at Discovery World.
Tom Boldt, CEO of Oscar J. Boldt Construction in Appleton, said to date few of the stimulus dollars have entered the local marketplace. But he said 2010 looks like a strong year. Michael Lovell, dean of engineering at UW-Milwaukee, said federal agencies have been overwhelmed, having to process billions of dollars without additional personnel.Read Full Article
Green jobs not here yet
Friday, October 02, 2009
Some Wisconsin business leaders say they haven’t seen evidence yet that the federal stimulus package is creating much in the way of so-called “green jobs.” But they say the upcoming year may be a different story.
Some Wisconsin business leaders say they haven’t seen evidence yet that the federal stimulus package is creating much in the way of so-called “green jobs.” But they say the upcoming year may be a different story.
President Obama and Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle have said the stimulus package has helped prevent the unemployment rate from getting worse. They also say that federal dollars set aside for energy programs, green infrastructure and related areas will pay off in work for people. Tom Boldt is CEO of Appleton-based Boldt Construction. He says the growth in green jobs is a little slow in coming.Read Full Article
UW promotes ‘green’ jobs
Friday, September 25, 2009
A former adviser to the Obama administration on energy and environmental issues says there’s been too much emphasis on the dire warnings of the impact of climate legislation pending on Capitol Hill.
A former adviser to the Obama administration on energy and environmental issues says there’s been too much emphasis on the dire warnings of the impact of climate legislation pending on Capitol Hill.
“Too often people focus on a few losers rather than the many winners,” Howard Learner of the Environmental Law and Policy Center said in an interview. Learner spoke at a Climate Change and Green Jobs conference Friday in Madison co-sponsored by the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the law firm Godfrey & Kahn.
Utilities have raised concerns that the greenhouse gas-regulation bill as passed in the U.S. House of Representatives would penalize coal-dependent utilities through the manner in which credits for emitting carbon dioxide into the air would be allocated.Read Full Article

Wisconsin economic development gurus love to tout Madison as one of the world’s rising biotech “hot spots.”
Wisconsin economic development gurus love to tout Madison as one of the world’s rising biotech “hot spots.”
But Madison’s biotechnology scene gets an unflattering mention in a new report detailed in the Scientist magazine - for having some of the lowest life sciences salaries in the nation.
More than 4,700 professional scientists in the U.S. reported their salaries, providing a rare glimpse into the field according to gender, race, region and specialty.Read Full Article
