One lawmaker says downstate residents are being ignored on energy – Center Square

State Sen. Chapin Rose said downstate residents are being shut out of the conversation on where to build alternative energy projects. "They are saying that you can put a windmill a tenth of a mile or a block away from your home in downstate Illinois, but yet they do not want them in Chicago," Rose said.
