Abstract:

Records, mainly 1979-1981, of a non-profit membership organization originally formed in 1978 to promote solar energy technology in Wisconsin for the Mid-America Solar Energy Complex and the U.S. Department of Energy. Later the organization turned to information referral, lobbying, publication of the Wisconsin Solar News, conferences, and other project-oriented activities before dissolving from lack of funding in 1982. Included are articles of incorporation; board minutes; policy papers; financial records; correspondence; project and lobbying files; and reference files on the Badger Safe Energy Alliance, the Bailly Alliance, the Black Hills Alliance, Brown County Energy Conservation Center, the Wisconsin Citizens Environmental Council, the Citizen/Labor Energy Coalition, the League Against Nuclear Dangers, the Madison Energy Conservation Committee, Northern Thunder, the Rainbow Alliance, and other state and national energy and social action organizations. Some files document the activities of president Michael Ducey as head of the Alternative Power Alliance. Wisconsin Solar News, the SERA newsletter published in cooperation with the Wisconsin Office of State Planning and Energy, is available in the Historical Society Library.
