    SENATE BILL 450 and AB 649 -Senator Mark Miller has sponsored Legislation to
    regulate citizens lives. Everything that runs on energy - from clock radios to
    buildings, will be regulated to reduce emissions that are believed to contribute to
    “global warming”. A “Climate Change Coordinating Council” will oversee global
    warming training programs from Kindergarten through Graduate School (p6).Not
    only will the new Laws tell you how to live, what to drive and what to buy, they will
    make everything you do and everything you rely on more expensive.

    SB 450 & AB 649 also requires the Public Service Commission (PSC) to
    promulgate rules for creating, selling, trading, transferring, assigning, banking, and
    retiring Renewable Resource Credits (RRCs) and tracking RRCs under a regional
    credit tracking system designated by the PSC (SENATE BILL 450 p.13). They are
    setting up a “Madoff Scheme” with Wisconsin’s Energy System. Thankfully these
    bills were killed 04/28/10 – but be aware that they could come back this fall with a
    new name.

    Legislature Rejects 2010 Job-Killing
    Global Warming Bill 04/28/10

    In a move that will save Wisconsin jobs, the Legislature rejected
    Governor Jim Doyle’s proposed sweeping global warming
    legislation.

    The global warming legislation would have significantly increased
    energy costs, and resulted in thousands of lost jobs.

    According to a recent independent study, these policies would
    have a devastating impact on Wisconsin’s economy when fully
    implemented:

     * Wisconsin would lose more than 43,000 jobs, mostly in the
    manufacturing sector
     * Each Wisconsin citizen would be forced to pay $1,012 every
    year for higher gasoline and electricity prices
     * Electricity would cost at least $15 billion more to generate here,
    causing double-digit price increases
     * Homeowners and businesses would pay expensive new taxes
    on their electric and heating bills
     * A “Wisconsin-only” fuel policy would make gasoline more
    expensive here than in surrounding states.

    SOME POINTS FROM THESE BILLS:

    Renewable Energy Mandates. The legislation increases Wisconsin’s renewable
    energy mandate from 10 percent by 2015 to 10 percent by 2013. The
    renewable energy mandate then jumps to 20 percent by 2020, and to 25
    percent by 2025.

    Low Carbon Fuel Standard. The legislation calls for a “low carbon fuel
    standard,” which seeks to limit “carbon intensive” fuels such as oil from
    Canada’s oil sands and corn ethanol. Both fuels are more carbon intensive than
    conventional gasoline. Wisconsin receives roughly 50 percent of its oil from
    Canada.

    California Car Low Emission Vehicle Standards. The legislation will require
    Wisconsin to adopt California’s low emission vehicle standards which are much
    stricter than limitations under the Federal Clean Air Act.

    Engine Idling. The legislation will limit the amount of time an operator of a motor
    truck, truck, or road tractor (truck) is allowed to let his/her vehicle idle to no
    more than 5 minutes per 60 minute period with limited exceptions. The idling
    prohibition applies to on or off highway vehicles. The legislation assesses fines
    for operators who violate the prohibition.

    Consumer Electronics Efficiency Requirements. The legislation prohibits the
    sale of certain consumer electronic devices that use more than a specified
    amount of electricity in “standby mode”. Violators will be subject to fines of up
    to $100 for each device sold or offered for sale.

    Stricter Building Codes. The legislation will require new homes and commercial
    buildings to follow the stringent International Energy Conservation Code
    (IECC). The legislation also allows the Department of Commerce to require
    builders to adopt even stricter energy codes

    New Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Requirements. The legislation
    grants DNR rule making authority to require businesses emitting a certain
    amount of CO2 to report its emissions to the DNR. After collecting the data, the
    DNR is required to assess whether the state is meeting its goals, and if not,
    determine what further regulations should be implemented to reduce CO2.

    Levy Limit Exception. Current law limits the amount by which any city, village,
    town or county (political subdivision) can increase its property tax levy. Under
    the legislation, the levy limit does not apply to any amount levied by a political
    subdivision to pay for energy efficiency measures and renewable energy
    products that reduce or avoid energy costs.

    AB 649 is being
    marketed by its
    authors as the “The
    Clean Energy Jobs
    Act.”

    Perhaps this is one of the most
    misnamed bills in the history of
    misnaming bills.
    Make no mistake, the evolution of
    this bill shows its origins rest in the
    recommendations of the Governor’s
    Global Warming Task Force.
    Its only effect on the job market will
    be a net loss of jobs, and
    consumers can expect to be hit with
    higher energy prices and a higher
    cost of living.

produce or import HCFC-22 to service existing
equipment. Virgin R-22 may not be used in new
equipment. As a result, heating, ventilation and

IRS Offers Incentives for Energy
Efficiency

(December 27, 2005) --   When the Energy Tax
Incentives Act of 2005 takes effect on Jan. 1, taxpayers
will enjoy dollar-for-dollar federal tax reductions for the
expense of improving the energy efficiency of their
homes, including investing in solar energy, with no
maximum income restrictions.

In 2006 and 2007, taxpayers can receive a credit of up
to 30 percent of the cost of installing solar water-heating
equipment, up to $2,000 per tax year; a credit of up to
30 percent for solar equipment that generates
electricity, also up to $2,000; and a 30-percent credit for
a fuel-cell power plant, up to $500 of the installation
cost, although fuel cell technology is not yet practical for
use in a residential environment. Solar water systems,
on the other hand, are easy to install; and the energy
savings quickly recoup the cost.

"I think even without the tax credit, solar hot-water
systems are economical. You'd almost be crazy not to
get a solar hot-water heater right now-especially with
natural gas prices going up," said Noah Kaye of the
Solar Energy Industries Association. A reliable,
professionally installed solar hot-water system can run
as little as $3,500; high-end systems, suited for colder
climates where freezing could be a factor, cap out at
$6,000, although they have virtually no ongoing costs
and require only infrequent maintenance.
