Illinois Sees The Light – Retains Nuclear Power

Illinois Sees The Light – Retains Nuclear Power 

 In a nail-biter more reminiscent of overtime at the Superbowl, the Illinois State Legislature passed The Future Energy Jobs Bill (SB 2814) with less than an hour remaining in the legislative session, allowing Exelon’s Clinton and Quad Cities nuclear power plants to remain open. This will save 4,200 jobs and over 22 billion kWhs of carbon-free power each year, more than all of the state’s renewables combined. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2016/12/04/illinois-sees-the-light-retains-nuclear-power/#7b79b27116a7
