Chicago Sun Times Editorial, 10/23/20:

Illinois is estimated to have lost 3,500 solar jobs already, and 1,000 more jobs could be gone by the end of the year…

Illinois has worked hard to become a leader in green energy, attracting jobs and improving the environment. The state is home to businesses installing solar and making use of “community development” projects, in which property owners without good access to sunlight can share projects with other property owners.
