I love Wisconsin and it people.I live in northern Illinois,but visit Wisconsin whenever possible.I like how Wisconsin people think.Think being the operative word here.Wisconsin was one of the last 5 sites to be looked at as a nuclear waste site and that was rejected.Thank god!Now they are rejecting a new coal fired power plant.Good onya Wisconsin.Many people might not know or suspect it,but Wisconsin has the second largest energy fair in this country.I have been to it more than a dozen times and it is eye opening for the number of forward looking people that attend the fair and the number of businesses that are there to sell all kinds of renewable energy products.There is a massive education program that goes on at the same time at the fair.Everything from how to can food,to gardening,sustainable building,energy production how to's,and magazines that keep people informed.It is usually held around my birthday,lol,in June about the 19th.You can find out about it at Midwest Renewable Energy.Take a look and attend if you can.You won't be disappointed.The people of Wisconsin are friendly and again it might be hard to believe,but they are in the forefront of renewable energy.Besides,it is a very pretty state,forest,lakes and such.
