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.
The point of Pritzker’s CEJA was to raise energy costs for Illinois citizens, particularly for downstaters. Mission acomplished.
Imagine if the coal plants were open not only would generation be cheaper resulting in lower bills but also would employ a lot of out of work Illinois coal miners. A win win situation and that is why it is not implemented so as to rise utility prices and keep miners out of work. This provides for more people dependent on the Government and is a Democrat’s dream in Illinois.
