In a Chicago Tribune op-ed last week, Senator Cristina Castro and Representative Ann Williams stressed the importance of passing the Clean Energy Jobs Act without delay. They wrote that while President Biden has made some important strides toward addressing the climate crisis, Illinois must take action at the state level to create thousands of clean energy jobs and build stronger, more equitable and healthier communities. Without it, Illinois risks being left behind in the clean energy economy.

“The path forward is clear — it’s time to put communities first and set Illinois on a path to 100% renewable clean energy. It’s time to address the growing climate crisis, take steps toward COVID-19 recovery by creating jobs where they are needed the most and end the corruption that has clouded the energy discussion in Springfield for years.”

Equitable jobs. Lower energy bills. No utility bailouts. CEJA can’t wait.
