The recommendations made by Gov. Jim Doyle’s Global Warming Task Force will lead to massive job loss and decreased state income, according to a collaborative report released Thursday by two right-leaning think tanks.

The report, released jointly by the Beacon Hill Institute and Wisconsin Policy Research Institute stated the task force’s recommendations would result in a disposable income decrease of at least $9.7 billion for the state and a net loss of 49,000 jobs across the state in the next 11 years.

Additionally, WPRI’s report describes the task force’s recommendations as not specific enough to determine the exact financial consequences of the renewable energy conservation practices.

“The Beacon Hill Institute cautioned that the full cost of the task force’s plan is unknown since many recommendations were too vague,” Beacon Hill Institute Director of Research Paul Bachman said in a statement Thursday.

However, Rep. Spencer Black, D-Madison, chair of the Committee on Natural Resources, said he sees this report as illegitimate and culpable of presenting “false data.” He identified the Boston-based Beacon Hill Institute as being biased toward special interests.

“This report was actually not done in Wisconsin. It was done by a right-wing think tank in Massachusetts that is funded by the oil industry,” Black said. “[It is] really an effort by the oil industry to kill efforts to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and to fight global warming.”

Black is part of the group responsible for drafting legislation based upon the task force’s findings a month from now to reduce the cause of global warming.

Contrary to the report’s assertion, Black said the advancement of clean energy will increase the number of available jobs and stimulate the economy.

“Wisconsin spends over $20 billion a year out of the state’s economy to pay for oil and fuel, and that is a tremendous strain on the state’s economy,” Black said. “By keeping the money here, investing in renewable energy and conservation, we will be creating tens of thousands of new jobs.”

Global Warming Task Force member Rep. Phil Montgomery, R-Green Bay, acknowledged the challenge of creating effective, renewable and conservatory energy forms while keeping them affordable and efficient.

Despite deferring this issue to other legislators, Montgomery expressed concern the bill’s draft group would be working in clandestine, “behind closed doors” meetings.

“What’s scary is the fact that (with) the legislation — which is what really will have the effect — nobody knows what’s in there, and unfortunately, could be snuck into another budget bailout … like we saw in so many of the things that were snuck into the last budget that had no legislative hearings, no input form the citizenry, and no regards to the cost,” Montgomery said.
