The clean energy transition is underway in Illinois!
As the state moves towards more renewable energy, we want to hear from you!
How can the transition to clean energy best fit McHenry County’s needs?
How can we best leverage new jobs in the clean energy economy?
Come join the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) and McHenry County College Sustainability Center for an open discussion about what’s next for Illinois.
We will begin with a short presentation on the current state of clean energy policy in Illinois, before breaking into groups to discuss topics including:
- infrastructure
- job training programs
- community solar, and
- economic development
These listening sessions will be happening throughout the state to inform energy negotiations.
Do you know why biomass never took off as a renewable energy source?
Because the gasbag wasn’t popular.
— rearranging deck chairs on the USS Titanic.
When the civil war hits, all these ‘priorities’ will be burned away quicker than you can say ‘Paradise, California.’
Why wasn’t the attempt made to use the tidal power of the Bay of Fundy.
Far more reliable than solar, wind or nuclear.
