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.
Green energy is simply not affordable energy and battery storage is a ridiculously retarded solution.
Of course it will raise rates.
You have to understand the nuance to this. Electricity bills are going up partly because wind and solar are not reliable. The additional billions of dollars of cost of batteries is being incurred to mitigate that increase. It’s a taxpayer subsidy paid to cover up the effects of the failed subsidies and mandates for wind and solar.
Like you have stated lately on Wirepoints, I want to see facts and figures that my electric bill will not go up, not rhetoric from politicians that are clueless
And you sure won’t see that because the new law deleted the caps on how much electricity prices can go up.
