Madison surpasses reduction goal for carbon emissions

Madison and a coalition of community partners have far surpassed a clean energy goal of reducing carbon emissions city wide by 100,000 tons over four years, Mayor Dave Cieslewicz announced Wednesday. The coalition, known as MPower, includes Madison Gas & Electric, UW-Madison, Sustain Dane, UW-Extension and others, and documented eliminating 324,443 metric tons of carbon monoxide since the initiative was launched in 2007, Cieslewicz said in a statement.
