We’ve seen this history play out before.
Just as momentum for clean energy gains ground—projects rising, costs falling—a new decree arrives from above. The return of top-down, centralized energy policy isn’t just a debate; it’s an attempt to rule by rollback. It’s the old guard trying to reclaim power by stalling investment and clouding the future with uncertainty.
But here’s the thing about progress: it doesn’t belong to any single person. It belongs to the people building it on the ground, right here in Wisconsin.
The Decree vs. The Reality
When leadership tries to reign over the energy transition, we, the people, pay the price:
- Infrastructure is halted by royal red tape.
- Investment is chased away to more stable lands.
- Communities lose their independence to volatile, old-world costs.
We aren’t waiting for a coronation or a change of heart in a distant capital. At RENEW Wisconsin, we believe in a self-governing energy future. We move forward because the climate doesn’t care who sits in the Oval Office.
A Revolutionary Act for Your Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
You don’t have to be a spectator in this power struggle. If you are 70½ or older, you have a unique tool to help fund resistance to progress-killing policies: the Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
Think of it as a way that you can defund an agenda you don’t support and put those funds directly into the hands of those building the future.
With a QCD, you can:
- Move IRA funds to RENEW Wisconsin to protect local projects.
- Avoid increasing your taxable income.
- Satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) on your own terms.
- Ensure your legacy builds local power, not political theater.
Let’s Democratize Energy
You’ve spent a lifetime building your own estate. You know that true stability isn’t granted by a leader—it’s built through hard work and foresight.
The window to act is open, but the gates can be slammed shut by the next administration. Don’t let your hard-earned resources be eroded by shifting political winds. Use a QCD to reinforce the progress we’ve made.
Wisconsin doesn’t answer to kings. We answer to the future we build.
