Higher Taxes By Another Name

Same old crap from the LeftyPSC.

Wisconsin’s energy efficiency programs would receive increased funding from electricity ratepayers in the next four years under a proposal adopted Thursday by the state Public Service Commission.

The state's Focus on Energy program has been reallocating its budget to meet the heavy demand for energy-efficiency services from the business community, according to the PSC.

Oh, really? Businesses are demanding paid-for energy-efficiency services?

Under the proposal, funding for energy-efficiency programs would expand to $120 million in 2011 from $100 million this year, with the goal of expanding incentives aimed at reducing energy bills.

Funding would then increase to $160 million in 2012, $204 million in 2013, and $256 million in 2014, under the PSC proposal.

How very special.

Tellyawhat. Decrease business taxes and tell "business" to buy their own energy-efficiency services.
