Governor J.B. Pritzker is pushing a plan to make energy production in Illinois 100 percent renewable by 2050. Currently about 6 percent of the state’s electric production comes from renewables. The idea that we can completely replace coal and natural gas by 2050 is a fantasy.
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.
2050? I thought the world was going to end in 12 years.
