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.

In all of this blather about EV’s I still have not heard anything from the deep thinkers at the State house about how to generate the extra electricity that will be required to power those EV’s. And if they mention SMR’s(Small Modular Reactors) , those are decades away, if they happen at all.
The requirement for electric cars is ridiculous. Electric cars are more harmful to the environment than any gas powered car. The United States has done its part to greatly reduce the production of pollution into the environment. In order to charge these cars, the electric grid needs to be built to provide the additional power…do you think wind or solar will generate the power for this? Nope. It will be nuclear or coal fired generators making this power. Then there is the batteries, their production, disposal and replacement costs…This makes no sense.
