Pawlenty, Doyle To Push Energy Goals At Conference

ST. PAUL (AP) ― The governors of Minnesota and Wisconsin will try to broaden support for a set of regional clean energy goals next month in Chicago.
  
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle held a joint press conference Wednesday to announce they will co-host the "Energy Transition 2050" conference.
  
The Midwestern Governors Association conference for government, business and nonprofit organizations will happen Feb. 11-12.
  
The governors worked together last year on two Midwest energy pacts, including a plan to develop a regional cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions. They also want to increase the use of renewable energy throughout the Midwest.
  
The duo say they will keep working together to implement the energy agreements after Doyle's term as chairman of the governors association ends this spring.
