Post 21 in a series. When Green Turns Brown is an examination of a small town’s digester-energy project, in which Whitewater, Wisconsin would import other cities’ waste, claiming that the result would be both profitable and green.
Sometimes a proposal, with its attendant consultants, presentations, supportive politicians, taxpayer funding, and construction plans takes on an air of infallibility. How, after all, could a self-assured cadre, with PowerPoint presentations and glib answers, possibly make a mistake?
The consultants, presenters, supportive politicians, all of them taxpayer-funded, and the construction firm behind a Dane County digester were once unquestioningly confident of their own project. Yet, here they are now:
Report: Dane County manure digester a ‘huge fiasco.’
Hubris is no substitute for critical evaluation.
WHEN GREEN TURNS BROWN: Mondays @ 10 AM, here on FREE WHITEWATER.
It’s not enough for them to sell this thing without considering all the possibilities.It really is just a sales job.Maybe someone should should ask who is really behind this?
I’ll bet they started out saying said their project was the greatest thing in the world.
Worry about Enbridge? What about Whitewater becoming the toilet of SE Wisconsin? Just what we need is more sh** !?
