Energy Independent Communities

Focus on Energy can help your community be more energy independent

As part of his Energy Independent Communities initiative, Governor Jim Doyle has joined several community leaders and members from around the state to launch a statewide effort to help communities reduce their energy use and increase their use of renewable fuels. Focus on Energy would like to help you get started.
