Over the last seven years, the Wisconsin Public Service Commission (PSC), a Democrat-appointed body, has approved more than $2 billion in energy rate hikes to meet the “green” energy goals of Gov. Tony Evers. That means less money in your pocket and costly energy bills, especially during Wisconsin’s brutally cold winters.

Now WE-Energies, the state’s largest utility, is asking the PSC to approve another rate hike on consumers, this time by 14 percent over the next two years.

This means the average customer will pay $13 more a month in 2027 and another $8 or $9 more in 2028, raising bills by at least $21 a month or $252 a year.
WE-Energies claims the hike is necessary to support investments in renewable energy projects. There it is, folks: you are paying more for unreliable and costly “green” energy.
Democrat David Crowley would make that situation worse, doubling down on his plan to make Wisconsin entirely “green” energy based by 2050.
Tom Tiffany, on the other hand, vows to appoint a PSC that won’t keep jacking up our rates and to put a stop to the Democrats’ expensive “green” energy scheme.
Since 2019, the Democrat-appointed PSC has approved over $2 billion in rate hikes to meet the governor’s costly “green” energy goals.
David Crowley would double down with his “green” by 2050 agenda.
I’ll appoint a PSC that puts you first and stops rubber-stamping rate hikes. https://t.co/2LOjHdEHON

Yes, Wisconsin needs common sense after years of Democrat Gov. Tony Evers.
The last thing Wisconsin needs is an unreliable energy grid when the temps plummet to 40-below in January. Pipes will freeze, people will die, and David Crowley will pat himself on the back for “going green.”
