WEI’s Ag and Land Use programs
create opportunities for dialogue between traditionally opposing groups
by facilitating non-partisan discussions that serve as a catalyst for
further cooperation. Events stress understanding the strategic link
between environmental and economic vitality as a basis for sound
planning.
Biobased Industry Consortium
Governor Doyle
has appointed Executive Director John Imes to the Biobased Industry
Consortium which will work to help make Wisconsin a national leader in
the use of biologically based materials to produce energy and products
that effectively compete with petrochemicals in quality, cost and
environmental impact. Wisconsin is well positioned to become the leader
in biobased technologies. These technologies will make it possible to
develop new sources of affordable electricity, transportation fuels,
chemicals, consumer products, and pharmaceuticals, from renewable crops
and forests grown in Wisconsin. By supporting these new and developing
technologies, Wisconsin will help its existing businesses to grow and
prosper and also attract new businesses and jobs to the state. For more
