A wind energy company is canceling its plans to build a wind farm in Brown County because of what Democrats and environmental groups are calling poor environmental decisions by Gov. Scott Walker.
Invenergy LLC said in a statement it did not make sense to proceed with the wind farm ""while uncertainty persists regarding relevant project regulations.""
State Rep. Brett Hulsey, D-Madison, accused Walker of creating a hostile environment for green businesses.
""Governor Walker's math is to talk about jobs but kill good, clean energy jobs,"" state Rep. Brett Hulsey, D-Madison, said in a statement. ""We should be promoting homegrown clean energy, not Walker's plan to sell state power plants for no-bid contracts.""
Clean Wisconsin spokesperson Keith Reopelle criticized Walker's decisions that have lead to this point and his ""war on wind energy is killing good Wisconsin jobs.""
""We urge the Legislature to reverse this course of action, and embrace the job-creating potential of wind power in Wisconsin,"" Reopelle said in a statement.
