Gov. J.B. Pritzker rarely passes up a chance to brag about his landmark clean energy law, which requires all fossil fuel-burning power plants in Illinois to shut down by 2045. Yet Pritzker's signature legislative triumph could backfire if he ignores warnings about its potential impact on electricity reliability.
Wind turbines need a wind to blow at a certain speed before it actually produces power, 15/20 mph I think, and anything less barely produces enough power to run the turbine components. Huge wind farm near Earlville, Illinois next to I 39. Drive by and many times no blades spinning so no power. I guess mandating renewals will make them work better.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

Pigchop will get out there and huff and puff!!
That’s one way to get rid of Pritzker
