Those who took a ‘leap of faith’ on solar power anxiously await passage of a bill that could determine the future of renewable energy in Illinois – Chicago Tribune*
In 2020, more than 300 solar companies operated in Illinois, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association, a national trade association. If legislators don’t renew the subsidies by the end of the session on Monday, a number of owners said they will be forced to lay off staff, move to other states or shut down completely.
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.
