Episode Details

Wisconsin’s largest utility provider We Energies is requesting yet another rate hike – their sixth since 2020, if state regulators approve it. At a time when many Wisconsinites are already struggling to afford basic expenses, the average residential customer would end up paying an additional 262 dollars per year by 2028. Corporate greed and data center development are to blame, according to Wisconsin Conservation Voters’ new digital ad campaign. Deputy Director Seth Hoffmeister joined our News Producer Faye Parks to explain why they’re speaking up. Image courtesy: We Energies.
