Gov. Pritzker signs green energy bill Wednesday morning, making Illinois a 'force for good' in clima

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a massive clean energy omnibus package passed by the Illinois Senate Monday.

Under the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (Senate Bill 2408), one million electric vehicles would be on Illinois’ roads over the next nine years, and Illinois would move to 100% clean energy by 2050. It will close private, for-profit coal plants with an electrical capacity of over 25 megawatts by 2030 as well as municipal coal-fired power plants and gas-fired power plants by 2045.
