Gov. Pritzker Says Decarbonization Is Key To Deal On Comprehensive Clean Energy Bill
Sunday, May 30, 2021 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] With just one full day left in session, Gov. Pritzker indicated that decarbonizing our power sector is central to a comprehensive clean energy bill and he would not allow ratepayers to underwrite Exelon’s profits. He wrote: “As we try to find an agreed solution, there is another part of the legislation that will not only make agreement with Exelon easier to reach but will provide essential overall benefits. Nearly 50 legislators highlighted in a recent letter the critical importance of decarbonizing our power sector, including an end to fossil fuels in the next two decades. I agree with them. A key step to reducing the effects of carbon and transitioning to a clean energy economy is to require polluting power plants to help pay for clean energy … This step will help Exelon’s zero emission fleet be more competitive in the market and help pay for clean energy jobs programs.” Learn more about equity-centered climate legislation at ilcleanjobs.org.
