MILWAUKEE (AP) — Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle says Americans should depend more on the Midwest than the Middle East for their energy.
Doyle spoke Wednesday at the opening of a two-day summit with governors from throughout the region on energy and climate change.
Doyle says with the region’s farms, manufacturing base and research institutes, it can become the Saudi Arabia of renewable energy.
Governors from throughout the region and Canada are expected to sign an agreement Thursday pledging cooperation in developing renewable energy and addressing climate change. Goals will include reducing energy consumption and finding ways to store carbon dioxide.
Doyle says these efforts will not only help the environment but create new businesses and jobs.
