Last week, we made a commitment to do just that. Joined by education, industry, and environmental leaders, I signed Wisconsin's "Declaration of Energy Independence," an ambitious, long-term plan to make Wisconsin America's leader in the drive toward energy independence. Our goals are:

To generate 25 percent of our power and 25 percent of our transportation fuels from renewable sources by the year 2025.

To capture 10 percent of the emerging bioindustry market by 2030, using our biomass resources to produce fuel, power, and products.

This declaration is not merely a set of goals - it is a call to action for state government, our universities, the private sector, and a broad coalition of environmental and energy organizations. And it comes with an action plan for achieving those goals.
