The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is asking the agency to redesignate lakeshore areas of Door and Kenosha counties. The changes would mean less restrictive requirements for any new large-emitting facilities that could contribute to ozone pollution...

Ken Notes: I do not want to point fingers, but much of Wisconsin`s coast in restricted from industrial development because of Chicago`s and Indiana`s carbon emissions. I know of several manufacturing entities that chose not to reclaim older industrial sites in Milwaukee fro example because of the cost of pollution abatement. They relocated to green field development sites with less restrictions. They now produce the exact same amount of carbon output (actually not that much considering new technologies) while also leaving prime industrial sites undeveloped, contributing to urban sprawl, and removing jobs from where they are needed most and there is a ready and willing workforce.
