MADISON, Wis. -- Gov. Jim Doyle will attend an international climate summit later this month in Copenhagen.

Doyle announced on Wednesday that he plans to promote Wisconsin as a leader in clean-energy jobs, renewable energy, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction while at the conference.

The Presidents and premiers from nearly 100 nations are expected to attend the United Nations summit, discussing issues like reducing the burning of coal and other fossil fuels.

Doyle said Wisconsin is well positioned to become a worldwide leader in an economy fueled on clean energy. He said he intends to talk with leaders at the summit about opportunities to expand their operations and create jobs in Wisconsin.
