New bill proposed to help make utility bills more affordable – WICS (Springfield)

The People’s Utility Rate Relief Act aims at making energy rates more affordable, creating stronger protections against disconnection of services, and oversight from the Illinois Commerce Commission for affordability. The bill also incorporates a heat index assessment, meaning in the summertime, services can not be disconnected if it is 85 degrees Fahrenheit or higher rather than 95.

Let’s shut down more utilities that generate with fossil fuels and nuclear and see how the supply goes down. Now all you genius politicians tell me what happens to prices when supply goes down? If I’m a utility why would I want to be in Illinois????
