    Green energy group announces plan to move Illinois toward 100 percent renewable energ

    Excerpt:

    SPRINGFIELD — Rep. Will Davis, a Hazel Crest Democrat, plans to introduce legislation in the next two weeks that would move Illinois toward 100 percent renewable energy.

    “We want to make sure that the future of clean energy is clear; it’s stable and it ensures equitable participation, and it lifts up all sectors of not only the industry, but all sectors of the state,” said Amy Heart, Midwest chair for Solar Energy Industry Association and policy director for Sunrun.

    David Lundy, spokesman for the Path to 100 Coalition, said the future legislation would make this happen by requiring greater private investment in renewable energy production from energy companies. This would be accomplished through the authority of the Illinois Power Agency, which develops electricity procurement plans for large investor-owned electric utilities Ameren, ComEd and MidAmerican.

    In this way, investment would be ratepayer funded, costing the ratepayer “less than a couple bucks a month,” Lundy said. It would not require state funding.

    These evil goofballs have to be defeated.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Be defeated by the evil fossil fuel industry! Well they have been being defeated since the days of Nikila Tesla. This is a long time coming. It is time for us to move forward. The evil corporations have held the whole world back long enough. Their infinite greed has cost the whole world. It is time for their reign over this planet to come to a hault!

    Be careful there, the evil fossil fuels industry employs a lot of people, my husband and son, being two of them.

    Does anyone realize all the people who will become unemployed if this green deal becomes a reality?

    The truth is that the fossil fuel industry is poisoning the environment. It is a serious issue, about the employed people though. But the green energy industry will open up new jobs. The people will have to switch to a different kind of energy job. It is the same with prisons. Should we lock people up just because we need to keep workers employed at the prisons? That is tantamount to slavery. Or do we sell weapons to Saudi Arabia for them to bomb kids so we can make money?

    These issues are very serious. You are correct. I am not for anyone loosing jobs. Not at all. But there will be new jobs. But the energy industry is in need of transforming to a technology that does not harm people and the environment. But like I said I don't wish for anyone to loose their job, not at all. It is my understanding that a whole new world of jobs will open up to the world. This will help our nation make great advancements in technology.

    Why- it is Illinois. Let them waste their own money. They may make some breakthroughs in green energy such as in battery storage life as an example. Certainly don't bail them out with federal tax dollars.

    Is they can do it without depending on big daddy gov to bail them out - go for it.

    Get it done without subsidies and it's groovy in my book.
