Ethanol-Powered Stunt Plane to be Featured at Air Show

Western Wisconsin Energy, a founder member of the Wisconsin Bio Industry Alliance kicked off the Chippewa Valley Air Show in Eau Claire on Thursday by highlighting two ethanol-powered vehicles: a stunt plane flown by nationally-recognized stunt pilot Greg Poe and a chopper built by the famous Orange County Choppers shop in New York.

"This event was a great opportunity to highlight the fact that ethanol can be used as a fuel for all kinds of vehicles--from cars and trucks to motorcycles to planes," said WBIA Director Josh Morby. "Members of our organization support national efforts to expand the applications of ethanol, which will ultimately increase our energy independence while growing our economy and improving our environment."

The full Air Show was held last weekend at the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport.

The Wisconsin Bio Industry Alliance is a diverse group of businesses, environmental groups and statewide and local organizations that have come together to build both public and legislative awareness of the Bio Industry in Wisconsin.
