PRITZKER’S ENERGY POLICY PROMISES 40% RENEWABLE POWER BY 2030. BUT ILLINOIS HAS FALLEN SHORT OF EARLIER TARGETS –

Gov. J.B. Pritzker hailed the energy policy overhaul he signed last month as a “giant leap forward” in addressing Illinois’ contributions to climate change. But Illinois has a track record of setting and celebrating renewable energy targets only to miss the mark by a wide margin, calling into question whether the state will be able to deliver on its latest lofty promises for a cleaner energy future.
