Walker is proposing to cut $8.1 million over two years from the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, a move that would cut a total of 35 jobs from the center, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Along with working to develop new sources of energy in Wisconsin, including native grasses and corn stalks, the research center helps fund research in fields such as energy efficiency and power generation. Walker has a history of being skeptical of renewable energy’s benefits. Walker also introduced a bill in 2011 that sought to restrict wind farm development in Wisconsin.
