-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
City energy costs over the past seven years show from 2017 to 2024 the city used 14 percent less natural gas, but costs went up 19 percent. Electricity use increased by 11 percent in that time, but the cost went up a whopping 80 percent.
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.
Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.

More like 12-15% in Northen Illinois.
Question for authors Mark Rivera and Blanca Rios, Tom Jones, Barb Markoff and Christine Tresseln: Isn’t the I-Team supposed to be a watchdog working on behalf of taxpayers against the excesses of government gone mad? What happened? “The I-Team obtained and analyzed city energy costs over the past seven years, showing from 2017 to 2024 the city used 14% less natural gas, but costs went up 19%. Electricity use increased by 11% in that time, but the cost went up a whopping 80%.” Your own analysis above clearly shows the Climate Grift on full display. Instead of cheap, reliable power,… Read more »

I-Team = invent excuses team…
Solar farms like this are far more efficient than roof top solar. please don’t install roof top solar in Illinois.
