Yep, much of the electric energy for the Milwaukee area comes from a coal-burning power-plant in Oak Creek, just south of Milwaukee.

It's good to see that some people are starting to think and plan ahead, but it's still just such a small part of the big picture.

We all need to seriously ramp up how much of our energy is renewably generated, and drastically throttle down how much total energy we use.

It was nice to see such a good crowd at this event. There really was a lot of positive support for it there.
