Progress is slow on Illinois’ clean energy promises
Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, are supposed to account for 25% of all power in the state by 2025 according to the law.
Illinois’ nation-leading climate law, the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), created a workforce-training program that would help the state equitably reach its clean energy goals. Two years since the law’s passage, Illinois has yet to train or place a single worker, making it difficult to reach those targets.
Reset speaks with leaders in the clean energy economy to learn more about what it will take to meet the state’s goals.
