With clock ticking on Exelon’s threat to shutter Byron nuclear plant, Illinois House returns Thursday to take up energy proposal – Chicago Tribune*

The Senate proposal approved early Sept. 1 aims to put the state on a path to 100% carbon-free power by 2050, but it did not have the support of Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker. A House plan introduced over the weekend has Pritzker’s support, but it’s unclear whether it would have enough votes in the Senate — which would have to reconvene to take up any legislation passed by the House — to make it to the governor’s desk.
