As with his opposition to wind and solar power, reducing fossil fuel use through conservation is not what his corporate funding enablers want, as I noted earlier:
It's important to understand that Wisconsin Republicans and their big-money backers have a detailed and long-range strategy to hold power here.
It began in 2007 when Walker, a senior Koch brothers-founded Americans for Prosperity official (and about a dozen others as yet-unnamed in part because local media will not lift a finger to flesh out the story already broken by Salon.com) met "along the shores of Lake Michigan" to plan the political capture of Wisconsin for conservative interests.
It is hardly a coincidence that Walker has since been elevated to Wisconsin Governor, has been saved from a recall election defeat as well as John Doe prosecutorial investigations by tens of millions of dollars in conservative donations, and is being pushed forward in the pre-2016 presidential politicking by that same combination of right-wing organizations and their funding.
I don't get it. Wisconsin's environment should be one issue that rural Republicans should understand and not vote their knee-jerk reactions. When a stream running through their property dries up or becomes full of manure or sand, water source becomes contaminated with nitrates, reduced wildlife populations due to clear-cutting... I can't believe they would ascribe those things to Democrats.
