Electricity keeps our stores open, factories running, and payrolls being made.
This most basic component of our economy can no longer be taken for granted. At times when electricity is in greatest demand, our undersized, aging transmission system simply can't keep up. In the thirty years since we built our last major power line, our transmission system that brings energy into Wisconsin has become clogged, choking-off the lifeblood of our economy. The system can no longer meet the demands of our modern, growing economy. Growth in this demand is an undeniable fact.
