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.
Has the author of this article went outside and talked to a few people in Southern Illinois assorted former mining towns and discussed the issue with them?
Like the inane ‘tree’ article from the other day, I got 1/3rd of the way through this article, and stopped reading. And yet, I have no idea what is the author’s point. But I got bucketful of anti-racism and DIE. And there’s some science-fiction future vision for the area with electric cars and green energy or something. But I have no idea how these are related.
Why didn’t the state continue the FutureGen project? Have you ever calculated the amount of energy that would be required to replace gasoline? Short of putting nuclear reactors in every town AND electrifying all roads, it’s gonna be impossible to replace oil with green tech. It doesn’t take very long to figure out it’s about control. Imagine the cost of food next year at current inflated fertilizer and fuel. Between the inflation and the food and energy shortage, it’s gonna be epic folks.
