Energy is necessary for everything that we do. Using it wisely is critical to our economy and to our environment. Yet for most of us, our only experience with the vast network that supplies our energy is flipping the switch that turns on the lights (or other appliances). Energy literate citizens have the knowledge and skills to make informed choices on energy use and to understand local, state, national, and international energy issues. Energy literate citizens are essential to Wisconsin's economic and environmental future and energy education in our schools is fundamental to ensuring that future generations are literate energy consumers and decision makers.
