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.
The state and utility company subsidies for green energy (wind, solar, etc.) also factor into the overall utility costs.
Your utilities will be cheaper if you install solar panels on your roof.
Your meter will go backwards, and you’ll make money.
Farmers get breaks to install solar panels on some of the worlds most fertile farmland (much of Illinois is blessed with thick black dirt).
Breaks for wind turbines.
