Oppose LRB 2777: Undermining renewable energy development

Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose LRB 2777, which is circulating for cosponsorship.

Renewable energy is the cleanest and cheapest energy. It also provides critical economic support for landowners and communities across our state. LRB 2777 would require a higher burden for siting renewables by requiring caps on the amount of acreage that could be used for clean energy development. It would also require renewable energy systems, but not fossil fuels, to have to purchase conservation easements to be sited.

Conservation Notices of the Week (CNOW) announces the pro-conservation positions on issues before the Senate, Assembly and/or Governor in the week ahead to state legislators. Others wishing to follow activities in the state legislature also receive CNOW, including legislative staff, conservation voters, and media. All of these issues are tracked on the Vote Tracker. Issues in the CNOW may appear in the Conservation Scorecard, to be released in the summer of 2026.

Save the date for Conservation Lobby Day, on Tuesday, May 6, 2025.
