🚨 MAKE A DIFFERENCE — SUBMIT YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT BEFORE 3/10/26! 🚨
The Wisconsin Senate is considering SB 3, a bill that could give local communities a real say over massive wind and solar projects in their area.
What SB 3 does:
SB 3 would require local government approval before the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) can approve large wind or solar projects. In other words, towns, villages, and cities where projects are proposed would need to approve them before the state can issue a final permit.
📄 How to submit written testimony:
1️⃣ Email or mail your written testimony to the committee clerk — this is the only formal way to make sure your comments are part of the official record.
Committee Clerk: [email protected]

A long overdue but insufficient acknowledgement that nuclear energy is the future in Wisconsin and NOT wasteful, inefficient and dangerous government subsidized industrial solar disasters built by utilities that have a state facilitated monopoly on the power markets.

SCC Responsible Energy Coalition: Advocacy in Action:

We sincerely thank all supporters of the SCC Responsible Energy Coalition (“SCCREC”). Founded last winter due to government inattentiveness and inaction regarding the Xcel Ten Mile Creek industrial solar project. SCCREC’s charitable mission is to study, educate and mitigate the negative health, safety, economic and environmental impacts from of ill-conceived and misplaced industrial solar projects.

Throughout the last year we have researched industrial solar projects, held many large and small public meetings, door knocked, handed out and posted fliers, engaged in communication campaigns and stood up a website and social media page all in an effort to raise awareness in the community and with our local governments of the many negative impacts of the proposed Ten Mile Creek industrial solar project. We are pleased to report that our effort has made a significant difference: St. Croix County, Hammond Township, and Erin Prairie have each committed to intervening in the Wisconsin Public Service Commission’s review of Xcel Energy’s Ten Mile Creek project!

While the situation continues to evolve, SCCREC’s focus and direction is also evolving but we remain dedicated to our charitable mission and will continue to support the community (including the County and townships) that are actively opposing the Ten Mile Creek project. We will also monitor developments with the project and deploy our resources to advance our charitable mission and continue to raise awareness, educate and provide clear, fact‑based information to help local communities and governments understand the major impacts of misplaced and ill-conceived industrial solar/wind projects so everyone can make informed decisions and mitigate the harmful effects of these projects.
