nuke power plant built in Illinois. after the last one was built here at Byron he stated that according to some in the engineering dept. that Byron will be the last big plant built. from the engineers stand point more smaller units would have been a better idea. also here in Northern IL the power company was test drilling into the granite rock in the far northwest counties for feasibility studies for pumping water several miles into the rock thus heating the water in a closed loop system to turn turbines..
northern il also has several wind farms and one village that uses solar power to provide electricy to the residents and business
