“Interestingly, the oil companies know very well that in less than 30 years they will not only be charging very high prices, but that they will be uncompetitive with renewables.” - Paul Hawken, Editor of Drawdown

Heather Allen
Executive Director, RENEW Wisconsin 

The Status of Renewables in Wisconsin

• RENEW’s work to encourage renewables in WI
  • Opportunities and obstacles
  • No state budget increase for Focus on Energy
• RENEW’s priorities and plans
• RENEW’s position on the “resistance” by rural WI communities to large scale wind and solar farms.

Heather leads a team of experienced staff at RENEW Wisconsin to accelerate the Badger State's transformation to  renewable energy through advocacy, education, and collaboration. She works closely with RENEW’s members to grow the solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, electric vehicle, and energy storage marketplace in Wisconsin.

Heather joined RENEW in July 2018 as program director to deploy solar on homes, businesses, congregations, and nonprofits.  Heather served for six years as Legislative Analyst for the City of Madison before joining RENEW. Prior to that, she worked on programs and policy for the Clean Lakes Alliance, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).   She studied conservation biology as an undergraduate at UW-Madison and received her Master's of Arts in International Environmental Policy from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California.

The world’s biggest 60 banks have provided $3.8 trillion of financing for fossil fuel companies since the Paris climate deal in 2015, according to a report by a coalition of NGOs.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic cutting energy use, overall funding remains on an upward trend and the finance provided in 2020 was higher than in 2016 or 2017, a fact the report’s authors and others described as “shocking”. The Guardian, March 24, 2021
